Pros (+) The room was old and dirty. It looked like it hadn't been deep cleaned for a long time. The door latch looked like someone had previously tried to use a knife or something to break in and the damage was just painted or stained over.

Summary of reviews
Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's excellent location, describing it as a major plus. Many praised the comfort of the beds and the spaciousness of the rooms. However, there were significant complaints regarding cleanliness, with multiple guests reporting issues such as a lack of deep cleaning and evidence of bed bugs. Service was another concern, as several reviews noted unhelpful staff and problems with parking fees. Overall, while the hotel had some strong positives, like location and room comfort, the negative experiences with cleanliness and service overshadowed the stay for many.AI-generated from customer reviews

Pros (+) The location was great and the staff was friendly and polite. Beds were comfortable and the decorations are nice.
Cons (-) The room was a little dusty and Part of the wall had some marking on it.
Pros (+) Just a solid business hotel
Cons (-) Decor was generic in rooms, common areas, and outside. Thoroughly dull.
Pros (+) Bell hops and valets were very kind and professional.
Cons (-) Pet policy is not clearly stated on their website. We arrived at the hotel with the intention of sightseeing and ended up being stuck in our room watching our dog because the policy doesn't state online that you have to stay with him at all times even if he's in a crate. This made us on able to benefit from our complementary breakfast since he was also not allowed in the dining area and the entire...

Pros (+) We only stayed for a night so did not get to take advantage of the beautiful lobby with many seating areas from high tops to cozy couches. Somehow it felt very open yet very homey and welcoming at the same time. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Very friendly staff.
Cons (-) The heater in our room sounded like a mini-explosion every time it kicked on. The walls were paper thin. We were wakened by two female voices and two babies at 7:30 am. I would have sworn they were in our room.
Pros (+) Access to historical sites and great restaurants
Pros (+) Good check in person
Cons (-) Internet service
Pros (+) Location was awesome. Staff was friendly.
Cons (-) Terrible TV...too small and very blurry. Food menu was weak...not enough variety and over priced for the quality. Should not have had to pay an extra 30.00 for one nights parking...outrageously over priced and a very sneaky added expense.
Pros (+) Room fab!
Cons (-) Parking fee was ridiculous!
Pros (+) The hotel had a great feel when you walked in. It looked very clean and modern.
Cons (-) When we arrived Saturday afternoon, there was no doorman to help with the bags. I ended up running into someone when I went to get a cart who was hanging out at the front desk talking. Also I was putting a stroller and there wasn't anyone to assist with holding the door open. Lastly, there were 2 weddings going on. From our room, we could hear the DJ until past 11:30 at night which isn't ok when y...
