Rather bland room was minimally decorated, but spacious enough. The balcony, for which I paid extra, overlooked an inner courtyard and offered no privacy. So was worthless.Small bathroom. Comfortable bed Cozy bar w. personable bartenders. Very limited, expensive food menu .Most positive: great location, near many restaurants. Most negative: no breakfast available. Might stay again, mainly for the location. 7/10.

The stay was nice, but we did notify the front desk that our bathroom did not seem like it was fully clean because we found a lot of what looked like little hair as though some one had shaved their beard or something all around the bathroom. Other than that the room was nice the valet was extremely nice and helpful!

It’s a historic building with 130 years of history based on the staff’s words. The hotel is well maintained, the room is spacious, very close to the convention center, lots of restaurants or pubs close by. Great hotel to stay.

Our first night we arrived late and went straight to bed but the street noise was pretty bad so we didn’t get much sleep. This was my fault as I insisted my wife book a street view room. I went to the front desk in the morning to see if they could help us out and they bent over backwards to get us moved to a different room that was courtyard view and also bigger. We had a Fantastic stay after that and would stay in this hotel again anytime.

Seems very hit-or-miss. My 1st room was street level and you could hear every person walking by on the sidewalk. Unacceptable and I quickly switched out. My 2nd room was drafty, had a broken heater fan that woke me up in the middle of the night, and terrible pillows. My 3rd room was fantastic.

Fireplace issues. There was an open flame ( pilot light) with no glass in front of it. I easily saw a child or adult mistakenly lay a towel or other flammable object next to it. Other fireplace issue: we couldn’t use it the end of the bed was two feet from the fireplace. You would have to sit on the end of the bed and hang your feet over the edge of the bed just to see it

Not for light sleepers
Overall the place was great. Good location, clean and beautiful. The only thing I did not like was that I could hear all the outside noise. Friday and Saturday nights were the worst with people partying outside. I was not able to sleep well those two nights. If you are a heavy sleeper, this place may be perfect.
