In general, we really liked this place. It's an excellent location- close to both downtown sights and the bar/restaurant neighborhood. The building has a lot of early 1900's charm. The bar is classic, and a great place to gather with friends at the end of your day. I found the staff helpful and friendly. A nice touch was coffee, fruit and muffins in the lobby each morning.
I have just three minor complaints that dropped me from a 5 down to a 4 star:
1) The resort fee of $25 per night. This always bothers me-- like a hidden tax or a mandatory tip. I would always prefer the hotel be open and simply charge one full fee, instead of this add-on line. Plus, this wasn't a 'resort', so I don't know what we were paying for. I never saw a pool or other resort-type amenities.
2) there was no breakfast served until 10a. It wasn't an issue for our larger group-- we just walked to a cool café nearby. But, the hotel lost on a sizable breakfast bill for our group of 14 .
3) We had no success cooling our room down at night. The HVAC system seems quite old, and even opening the window at night didn't help. It's hard to get a good nights sleep when you can't control your room temp.
The staff was so nice, I even feel a bit bad about these critiques. But, management needs to know there are solvable issues. Especially the hidden fee is annoying.
