Staff was friendly and helpful. Building is older and many little aspects not kept up—door numbers falling off, moldy caulking in showers, sink drains broken… the place has great potential and a cool history. Sad to see it not kept up.

Good value for good comfort

Very comfortable room and bed. The only downside was the A/C unit, which had tiny buttons with all the labels worn off so it was hard to figure out how to turn it on and adjust it. Very reasonably priced room!
