The location is great and the rooms are clean and nicely appointed. However there’s one space on the curb to pull over and check in, and that was occupied so we had to drive a block and a half away and lug our bags back to the hotel. The lobby is tiny as is the alcove where you check in. Two large disorganized parties ahead of us; nowhere to sit or really even get out of the way of their mountains of luggage. Our room was on the third floor. Major renovations going on and they were working on the 4th floor, so constant hammering and drilling. No mention of this when we made our reservation. According to the website the hotel restaurant serves breakfast but it was locked up tight in the morning. If we had known about the noisy construction going on, we would have booked elsewhere.

They warned about construction, but the drilling at 9 a.m. was ridiculous way too loud to relax. The room was dusty in spots and only had one robe even though it was booked for two. No housekeeping during my stay and had to ask for towels myself. For the price, the service and amenities just don’t match up. The place has charm, but it’s not worth it until renovations are done.

The downside is there is no restaurant in the facility. They rely on a restaurant leased separately. The result is no food available on Mondays at all and limited hours when they are open. Normal restaurant hours but not food service hours in a five star hotel
