The location was awesome, very walkable and good dining options. It is an historic hotel, and they don't hide that fact. No modern updates. If did feel that even though some remodeling could be done, it was clean. Had drinks in the Mexican restaurant onsite, cool place and great salsa. Probably should have had dinner there but didn't. Only downfall is I couldn't get the shower to work.

Very unique historic property that I have fairly regularly visited. Ladies at the front desk aren’t always the most friendly and somewhat abrasive. The amenities are pretty much non existent (don’t even ask about the pool) but the cool factor of the property combined with low rates keeps me coming back.
