Great location, you can walk to lots of restaurants, shops, and the wharf. Only downside is no AC, but windows do open wide to allow airflow. Loved how water dispensers were available in the lobby and our floor. Front desk staff was always kind and helpful.

Really liked the property as it was a terrific historical hotel. Proximity to things we enjoy was great. It is an old hotel and sleeping with windows open in Sept was difficult due to traffic on the street throughout the night. That was the only challenge but expected as air conditioning is not needed in this area. However, we loved the hotel.

Great staff! Super welcoming, friendly, helpful and patient. We used the valet parking and it was quick and convenient. Downtown, so there's lots of choices for eating and 2.5 blocks from the wharf! The only downside was that none of the watercoolers around the property had water during our 3 days there.
