    clean suite
    historic vibe
    dated decor

    Had a surprise stay and got upgraded to a suite! Room was clean, and directions for nearby eats were a sweet touch. Charming historic vibe, loved the ambiance!

    But honestly, the hallways felt like a spooky museum—someone should consider a little sprucing up, or ghosts might start charging rent!

    good drinks
    free snacks
    green space
    small room
    cramped bathroom

    I enjoyed my stay. The bar had good drinks and offered free snacks. It helped to wind down my evenings after exploring. The courtyard was perfect for a quiet moment with my dogs, allowing me to appreciate the green space before heading out for more adventures.

    The room was small and felt outdated. There was some trash outside in the hallways, and the bathroom was cramped. It could benefit from updates.

    We had a great time with the vintage decor and fun old Hollywood vibe. The Jacuzzi tub in our room was a real treat despite the cleaning issues. I'd like to return, but only if they improve the cleanliness.

    charming atmosphere
    friendly staff
    outdated room
    noisy street

    The hotel had a charming atmosphere with friendly staff, but the historic room felt outdated and was a bit musty, and I was surprised by the noisy street outside. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good dining options nearby.
