Room 301 is pretty beaten up, even for an historic hotel. Elevator was out of order. Beds were hard an uncomfortable, would need new mattresses. Staff was very friendly and hotel conveniently located however. Would need a bit of tender loving care, nothing major.

The hotel is in a great location, but it could offer more amenities. The bed was very uncomfortable, and having to wear a bracelet from the hotel is uncomfortable as well, as it feels like you have a tag letting everyone know you are a tourist.
