9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1429)
"It was a renovated building with both character and class. Appreciate the architecture and historical nature of the property. It had very adequate sized rooms - certainly limited in size due to the constraints of the “period of time” nature of the building, yet very well designed and functional. Not your typical hotel property, but unique in a “good way”. Would definitely recommend for adults, but perhaps not an ideal property for families with young children. "

"Staff were amazing, from greetings in the morning to the cleaning staff being very helpful and accommodating. Good overall experience and would definitely book here again. Only compliant was that in my particular room, the shower looked to have been repaired as there was a crack in the sidewall that were covered in clear caulk, why not white to hide it? The shower door was also not aligned properly so it did not close all the way, damaging the mating piece."

Not many restaurant options in this area and Wells Street behind the hotel (block over) was kind of run down street. But the hotel itself was very nice and comfortable. "
