"This hotel was so amazing, i loved reading about the history behind it. The only downside was the parking situation. It was either do valet and pay $40.00 a day or use a meter for who knows how much. Most hotels come with parking, this one does not. We still loved it there and would love to go back again!!"

Room was spacious, bed very comfortable and no street noise."
