Location: great. Character: undeniable. Bed: hugs you. This building was built in 1912 and revamped into a hotel with current accents, but not enough to erase the history of the building itself. So keep that in mind when booking. If you prefer new and bougie, look elsewhere. In saying that, based on MY room and MY experience staying there 3 nights: the original floors creak in some spots, there are typical "gaps" under the doors but do not affect anything (layout of my room did not let in light to affect my sleep), and depending on the layout of your room in relation to neighboring rooms, you can hear doors closing (let's be honest, no one was catching the doors closing just letting them slam close). Never felt unsafe at any time walking around by myself. Everyone was friendly. Its in a popular area, so there is lots of people shopping, having coffee and going to restaurants. I would definitely go back.

Lovely historic building centrally located and in easy walking distance to restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience. Staff was very friendly, beds were comfortable, and rooms were clean and well appointed. The old bank vault made into a bar was such a unique spot.

The amenities were excellent such as a Starbucks and a rooftop bar. Old building but in great shape. Great staff and service. Bed height was a little higher than standard and is a little harder for my wife to get onto the bed. Overall, it was a great stay.

DANGEROUS VALET DRIVER

My only complaint was with the valet service. I checked in after midnight, and the guy working the overnight valet was incredibly rude to me. To make it worse, with me standing right beside my car after getting my luggage out, he floored my vehicle while revving my engine. I have never had such a terrible experience with valet before...we were not given another option for parking, and the front desk told me we had to valet. I would not stay here again, solely based on my experience with that service and the fact that there was no other option for parking.
