"This was a comfortable hotel at a decent price. Clean room and nice breakfast included. Only complaint was the fridge (I think) seemed to make a repetitive humming noise that sounded like someone was periodically drilling into the wall. Otherwise we had an easy two night stay."

"Vert cool and unique stay! Loved the history and staff was friendly. My only complaint was worrying about a $50 fee you pay if you “check out at 11:01 “. Checkout is 11:00. I did not appreciate having a stress after enjoying a night out not to mention a very expensive hotel room already."
