We liked the location of the hotel and it's old school charm. The hotel seems a little musty and needs to be freshened up a bit.

Good location, lobby area pleasant, spacious room, appreciated the fitness access and free coffee/tea/cookies, radiant heating in bathroom nice but should not have been on during summer, AC in wall unit loud and didn’t cool room very well, shower pressure pretty low but serviceable, generally clean but a little run down.

The old building gave it a quaint feel, but the room itself was tiny; very little room to move. The bathroom was very narrow and hard to move in, and it was very humid as the air didn’t flow well.
