We've been here before. The front desk is very friendly and helpful with any concerns. The room was clean but could use a little detailing where the vacuum cleaner doesn't get all the way in at the edges of the carpet.

Weird uncomfortable energy wrapped in old building

Staff was not welcoming at all. Rude stares from clearing staff as I was leaving with my puppy. Just an uncomfortable energy from people who are either racist or just rude. Website says pet-friendly but signs say no pets. Hotel only accommodates service animals which is not really pet friendly. Hotel has old furnishings and old smelly carpets. Will nevet stay at this location.

Solo Trip

I'm going through a short transitional period and I didn't want to be bothered during my stay. I literally had the Do-Not-Disturb sign out for my entire stay. I was only bothered once and that was from the gentleman, who I believe runs the place. I was called on the hotel phone and when I didn't answer, the gentleman knocked on my door. I normally wouldn't of answered the door but I did because I didn't want anyone to bother me for the remainder of my stay. The gentleman just wanted to make sure I was ok since he hadn't seen much of me. He also wanted to know if I wanted my room cleaned. I reassured him a couple times I was fine. I asked for a couple items and that cleaning my room wasn't necessary. I thanked him for checking up on me. And I therefore wasn't bothered for the remainder of my stay. When I checked out, I again thanked him for not bothering me. Since the stay rejuvenated me, and I wasn't bothered as per requested, I'll be back. Thank you!!
