Small rooms converted bank building. No breakfast offered or available on site. General area of hotel is littered with empty business. We stayed as it was walking distance to an upscale dinner venue. Otherwise it offers very little.

Property has alot of character & personality since it was a bank back in 1918, in general is good, I think the rooms need to be renovated. The restaurant is very nice & food is outstanding!! Staff everywhere is super friendly & attentive!!!

8/10 Very good

The staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean with nice blockout curtains. The only thing is, we went there to celebrate my birthday and booked the stay there because it advertised having a restaurant and several bars and a rooftop terrace bar. We booked our stay on a tuesday and once we checked in we found out that the bars and restaurant were only open on the weekend. I wish the hotel website would have mentioned this. We did find a nice Pub with a pool table and Webb's restaurant was next door (within walking distance from the hotel).

the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very small. No dresser or great place to hang clothes. Heat/AC was very noisy. Hotel itself was a cool building. The parking lot was dark at night and being downtown was concerning.
