The property was not as advertised. Felt very frustrating walking into an unclean room that looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks . Looked like it hasn’t been updated in decades . The online listing stated free parking ,free breakfast and a fitness center . None of these are true . AC looked moldy , the ceiling paint had a large spot that looked like it was full of water . The bathroom has areas ontop the shower where the Sheetrock was busted

We stay at many historic boutique hotels, however this should not be considered a “boutique” if you typically stay at a motel 6 then this is the place for you! The staff is very friendly and that’s the only positive I can say. They have no signs telling you where to park to check in, they are located directly on the street on a bus path. I parked in the parking lot across from them to run in and ask and came back out to an orange sticker stuck to my window and a $50 ticket! All in maybe 5 minutes. All in all it was just a let down from the minute we arrived.

Rooms were ok. However they did not honor the price quoted for parking 24 hrs prior in an email. Also would not allow an early checkin without an additional charge. Eventhough they said the room was ready.

The bed was very springy and was not comfortable at all. Room service never came in to empty trash or give new towels. There is also limited breakfast options that you pay for. Parking was very pricey as well. We paid and a friend staying at the same place got free parking for the 3 days we were there.
