The mattress on the fold-out couch was truly pathetic. Our daughter normally sleeps very soundly, but the noise this "mattress" made every time she moved, coupled with how extremely thin it was, made it a sleepless night before a college interview. Not at all what I expected for the price.

We got a suite and our view was of a parking garage and the street, so we couldn't open any of the curtains. Felt a little misled from the description of the room and the views. The TV in the bedroom didn't work, luckily they got that fixed quickly. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

This hotel evokes a Historic original era and architecture under dim, dark lighting. Room decorated with dark furniture and wall coverings. The headboards updated with modern design that didn’t match the overall furniture style. Noisy downtown traffic area is heard throughout during morning and afternoon hours.
