The hotel is great, the room was small but nice. My problem was I was given an upstairs room and they did not have an elevator. I hurt my leg and stairs have been a challenge. I was shocked that they did not have an elevator.

The front desk people were amazing and certainly started the stay off on the right note. We had stayed in this hotel many years ago and it has since been renovated (it needed it). Everything from the bed to the shower to the overall hospitality was excellent!

Location was great, staff within the hotel was great and very accommodating. The room was awesome with a great view of the square and surrounding neighborhood. Its an older property so it has a bit of character and depending on the other guests can be loud at times but all in all a very cool place.
