The room was clean, comfortable, and roomy. The biggest issue was how poorly sound insulated the room was. The street noise was unusually loud, to where it felt like a window was open. It woke us up earlier than I would have liked.

Great decor, unique property. TV didn’t work very well, the thermostat didn’t seem to turn from AC to heat, and the blinds didn’t keep the room dark come 7:30. The room was very stylish and the staff very friendly and helpful!
