Good: The staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby was nice. Not so good: the room smelled bad. Suspect the carpet could use a cleaning. Halls were dark paint and poorly lit. Supplied earplugs did not help with the bar music in the adjacent building. Curtains did not block out the lights from passing traffic. Bar fight in the street at 3am. Miserable night.

Walls seem to be paperthin. They told me you could get coffee anytime through the day. You couldn’t the kid that was at the desk when I went to get coffee had cold old coffee just really didn’t seem like he wanted to be there probably upgrade your amenities a little, after all that I love the building 101 years old but as far as everything else customer service whatever was very mediocre

Great place,
It is a really nice hotel and hostel.The atmosphere and style of the hotel is so amazing the history of the hotel is very cool.I would definitely stay there again..The only odd thing that happened,i left my phone charger and i called the front desk later on that day.The person took my number and said she would call me back after she checked with housekeeping,,she never called me back,so i guess they just kept it.
