The Hotel couldn't find my Reservation ( But claimed it wasn't their fault but Expedia's ). Just so you know some of the rooms are very small but the location is Excellent to everything Downtown. the restaurant up stairs is Very good! The Breakfast is UGH! Cold because they have to bring everything down from the Upstairs Kitchen!

Nice to walk to restaurants downtown. While the hotel is historically older, the carpet in our room was nasty dirty and the bathroom was grungy. Parking is a hassle unless you want to pay the valet $30 a night. You can park on the street in the evening but have to move car by 7:00 am in order to not get a ticket. The parking garage is rather far from hotel entrance and also is costly per night.

Needs updating and attention to little things
I really hate to give a historic hotel anything less than 5 stars, but they need more attention to the smaller things. The sidewalk bar seating area should be removed. It makes a fine hotel look bad and gives it a poor first impression. We had a suite and it was very nice. A single room, like they are in all older hotels, will be rather cramped. Our sitting room tv was not “set up” and the remote needed batteries. It takes time to remedy such issues, and did. You can park yourself street side and save on parking and valet. The hotel could use a renovation.
