Historic Charm and Cute Service

My room offered a comfortable king suite with very effective air conditioning. I appreciated the responsiveness when some noise from a party below became noticeable late one night. The front desk addressed my concern quickly. The hotel's decor is unique and beautiful. The building has historic elements with modern amenities.
I noticed a slight mustiness, likely due to the building's age.

I adored the spacious room! The fireplace was such a nice touch. Its proximity to restaurants and clubs is fantastic. The hotel and location felt safe and clean. Victor Ivy provided excellent recommendations!
The noise from the street was noticeable. Thin windows allowed quite a bit of sound to enter the room. Earplugs should be standard for a better night's rest.
