Enjoyed my stay. The only thing I would recommend is maybe a microwave and mini fridge in at least the suites. That made things a little inconvenient with the restaurant being pretty good.

Property, including rooms, is VERY dated. Walls are paper-thin so you can easily hear others in rooms next to you. Street in front of hotel is VERY noisy at night. Rooms only have cheap blinds with no curtains so rooms are very bright at night. Bathroom is extremely small. Restaurants nearby were quite good and walkability of the area is convenient.

It’s just getting to be too old. The floor was slanting so much in our bathroom it gave me a headache! Furniture is so old I used a sheet to cover the couch before we sat down. We use it for location only.

It was a unique stay. The property was great with gorgeous finishes. Some say the property is haunted. I did not find any proof of this. The staff at the property were friendly and very helpful. Particularly the front desk. I had to leave early but because of the staff would definitely return when back in the area.
