Clean, friendly, great location, historical. Scope out your parking ahead of time. The hotel has I to two spaces. Also backs onto a nightclub, which was very very loud, but I was exhausted, so just put a pillow over my head and slept.

Got a private room and it was great! Great location, price, and amenities. Bars below can be a bit noisy, but some people would like being close to those activities. Didn’t cause me any trouble on a Saturday night. Very cool history with the place as well

The staff was amazing and the building has historical significance. I felt like was in the 1920s. It felt very classy. I will come again.

Extremely clean room. Allowed early check in. Staff checked us when we walked in to be sure we belonged there. Only two free parking spaces right in front if needed- metered parking otherwise - check the city’s website. The historic details were fun. Bed was a single mattress on metal frame but once you’re sleeping easy to disregard. Ac unit in room plus a fan. Bathroom access was scary to think about but it worked just fine. Only had to wait for use once during our stay. The kitchen and tv/billiard room was super cool for people staying longer. Plus the available laundry access was a great consideration. Especially loved the email offering nearby discounts. Definitely worth it.

8/10 Very good

Cool property. The front desk worker was cool. He gave us a solid 15 minute tour of the place and explained the history. Very nice guy. It was a great location for New Years Eve. We could walk to all the bars and clubs for the girls and gays and eat at some available open options. Centrally located for sure. Super loud all night due to New Year’s Eve though so don’t plan on getting any peace and quiet until 230/3am and it’s a hostel - so even though we had a private room, we were next to a public room where everyone woke up and started making noise at like 8am. Other than that, great for partying and walking safely to a ton of fun things.

2/10 Poor

Good: The staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby was nice. Not so good: the room smelled bad. Suspect the carpet could use a cleaning. Halls were dark paint and poorly lit. Supplied earplugs did not help with the bar music in the adjacent building. Curtains did not block out the lights from passing traffic. Bar fight in the street at 3am. Miserable night.
