I had a great stay here.The room took me to a different time with how old (but unkept) some of the things are the bed was comfy smart tv. I tipped the person cleaning daily a small amount but a nice gesture to how clean everything was kept the whole time left money on my stand and wasn’t worried about it not being there when I got back.

Room 301 is pretty beaten up, even for an historic hotel. Elevator was out of order. Beds were hard an uncomfortable, would need new mattresses. Staff was very friendly and hotel conveniently located however. Would need a bit of tender loving care, nothing major.
