Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the room ranged from being disgustingly dirty to eventually acceptable, the lack of TV in any room despite paying $181 was disappointing. The presence of cosmetics and hair supplies around the little sink was convenient, but the overall maintenance of the room left much to be desired.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent with a vintage charm and friendly staff, yet there were some room issues that made it less cozy. The meals were a hit or miss, and the facilities were decent overall.
