Such a lovely and original hotel! If you like character over commercial, this is the place for you! Beautiful art deco features, a friendly staff, a lovely bar and gorgeous complimentary breakfast beyond the normal fare, and sweet rooms with just enough space for all! Will definitely be booking again for all my return trips to the area!

Standard rooms are basic. Door handle on bathroom was broken — the door would only stay shut when you were inside it and locked the door. Great history but tired.

Historic property in a great location. Very accessible and easy walk in and around the university, friendly and helpful staff, but no coffee makers in the room, no TV’s in the rooms and poor water pressure for showering. The little things do add up.

Love the architecture and history of the building. Rooms are small but adequate. There is a free medical clinic next door which can attract some sketchy people, but overall we love staying here.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I arrived not knowing where to enter the building. There is no signage. The receptionist was kind, however when giving me the keys to my room, she said the room number out loud. (Thought this was a big no no.). The room was fine and bed was comfortable. The first morning, I hung the do not disturb sign on door. I am one person and don't need my room cleaned. When I returned to my room, I noticed that it had been entered. This made me feel very uncomfortable.

We loved the history and architecture of the hotel. Staff was friendly and attentive. Lovely view from our room of the bay. The food at Julia’s was fantastic .The only negative was the noise from party events at night, but quiet by 10:00pm.
