Great hotel for the price. They said they’re about to remodel, which is good. The bed sounded like it’s wrapped in plastic, awful pillows, single ridiculously small elevator, MAYBE 150 sf room (my wife and I felt like we were in a closet….and the closet was miniature). Positives….very clean, great location, great value, safe. Just make sure you double check the room you’re getting so you’re not stuck with one bed for 3 people. They do have larger rooms. I’ve stayed at hundreds of hotels, this one was definitely worth the $200 when you include the $30 valet. The hotel just needs to improve the bed/pillows, and let people know just how tiny the rooms are. If you’re newlyweds, you’ll love it! All in all, a great price for the location!

pros and cons
You can't beat this location, and the updated rooms are very comfortable, but since it is a historic buildings it comes with its problems. You will hear toilets flushing and doors opening and closing through the walls. As well as people in the streets outside the bars until 2am. Also the valet put my car in a different lot overnight and it came back with scratches!! I was really disappointed.
