Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. The room was spacious and well appointed. We had a corner room with plenty of windows and light. It was also quiet and away from the elevator/traffic. My only complaint is that the in-room air conditioning unit was very loud and disruptive to our sleep. Otherwise, we had a delightful stay.

Not much to recommend this place. Small elevator, food cold, cold shower plumbing didn't work well. Room was reasonable clean. For the price and atmosphere stay at the Jefferson Hotel. Not an historic hotel. Not even a brochure explaining the history. I had to ask! They're not very proud of their hotel! I'll never stop Ay again stay at the Jefferson a well run hotel.

First, the guy at the valet was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. Our room was fantastic, very comfortable. The restaurant food was great except they didn't receive their beer delivery so the beer options were limited. The elevators are a small but I would expect that in an old building. Check in and check took a total of 4 minutes combined. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff are excellent!!! The hotel just seems to be falling apart in places - especially when you look at window frames and outside the windows. We had some mold on our curtains which makes sense with the AC unit right under. Just kinda damp rooms and unfortunately the shower had no pressure.

The suite was large and beautifully appointed. The food from the on-site restaurant was delicious for both breakfast and dinner. All of the staff were warm and welcoming. On the downside, the air conditioning in the living room portion of the suite did not cool (we reported it, but maintenance was not available). And the next morning, we discovered that the shower was broken. The handle to cut on the shower simply did not work so we were unable to have a shower that morning before traveling.
