It is fine, if a bit old and rundown. No breakfast option, but plenty of restaurants in the area. I have no idea why there is a resort fee, it definitely isn't a resort and has no resort amenities at all.

The property was well maintained. Our room was clean, and the staff came every day to fix the room and remove trash. The one thing I disliked about the hotel was that we had an issue with the light at the room's entryway. The maintenance guy just knocked and immediately opened the door without waiting to be let in, which I found to be very unprofessional.

Our stay was wonderful. The staff were kind and helpful. Allowed us to leave bags with them while we did our second leg and came back there. Rooms were comfortable and the a/c cold. Terrific fireplace easy to operate. Loved our stay there!!

The staff were welcoming, it was easy to park, check in, and bring our items to our designated room. The lobby and atrium are so cute!! The room was cozy and perfect! Downstairs dining was perfection (super tasty food and cocktails). Nightlife was just a short walk away.

I stayed here before and I'd stay here again. The hotel has character, with some of the trade offs that entails. The wifi is good and included (good), but the beds aren't as firm as those in a chain hotel (bad). They've stopped offering breakfast, but there are good coffee shops literally around the corner.
