Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The bed was great, best sleep I have had in awhile! The building is right downtown so walkable to a little shopping and restaurants. Parking was right behind the building in their very quiet ramp. They had a small selection of free breakfast items in the foyer that was a nice surprise. The only downside, even though the building is nicely renovated, the entry level has a bit of a funky old building smell, but the smell isn’t up in the second floor where the hotel rooms are.

Beautiful building, rooms are newly renovated however it would have been nice to follow the decor of the older building for nuance. Staff was friendly and rooms were well maintained and clean. The only issue we had was finding the entrance from the parking ramp. It wasn’t clear that the hotel entrance was the entrance that appeared to belong to Roma’s Italian restaurant. Other than that the stay was wonderful.

Room is small. But a/c didn't seem to work. Was humid in room. My son found a can of dip/chew/ under the bed. So obviously not clean. Hard to get a hold of hotel staff and no refrigerator. Good location though. Bed comfortable
