Clean rooms and super cute themes/ I love the refinished look to a historical building. Super nice rooms and cute aesthetics. The cafe was amazing, had the beach French omelette and hazelnut cappuccino I’ve ever tried. On the pricey side for rooms but worth it.

The rooms are clean, but very tiny. Smaller than an average bedroom. Great location. The elevators are very interesting and almost dangerous. One was broken the whole time. They only have two.

Great place to stay as it’s close to many great locations. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I do wish the mini fridge was not full of amenities to buy and instead be empty for you to put any water or perishables while on your trip.

Room was great but the restaurant there was not the best. Did not have a pleasant experience, waiter sat us down, but didn’t come back to check on us. Other guest came before us and got served right away. He might of forgot about us, but when he finally came back to our table not even a sorry for the wait or anything.

One of the antique elevators was out of order. They are antique while cute are slow and being down to one made waistlines long. Often we used the stairs to/from 8th floor. Room is nice but VERY small. We were ok with it but be aware. There is an 18+ dance club a couple doors down. It gets VERY loud about 10:00 and then again at 2:00 when the close. Great location for restaurants and entertainment. The staff was excellent particularly the night shift. If you don’t pay for valet parking is an adventure.
