"Hotel was nice and clean. Employees were nice. We just had a rude neighbor that liked to slam the door on and off all night. He also parked his truck and trailer across 6 parking stalls, so we couldn't park in front of our room."

"Great spot in a cool historic building. It's old, so there are some old features, but it adds char. Rooms were nice and clean and the staff was SO friendly and helpful. I loved the rooftop patio and that they're dog friendly! The only con is that the included breakfast was meh, and everything was served in single-use plastic."
