The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, especially during check-in. The building had fantastic architectural details. It had a lot of charm. My room was clean and quiet. I would definitely come back.
I found NO hot water in the shower. The toilet seat was broken. The hotel seemed very run down and in need of some serious tlc.
