Great central location, however the doors into the rooms are extra heavy, so when people are entering or leaving at 4 am, you’ll be guaranteed to hear them! The Ned was very inviting but the pillows were too high and I left with a stiff neck. Hotel staff were very inviting and helpful. With a little corrections, this hotel wild be on my list of faves!

The hotel served our needs, however the room was a bit tired and could use some updating - see peeling wallpaper, dusty fixtures, bedside lamps not working, and roughed up walls. Overall, we enjoyed our stay - the property could just use some refreshing. Courteous staff and valet. Thank you.
