Staff were great. The location to the riverwalk could not have been closer. A very boutique hotel. Not all the amenities of a chain which we love. Super quiet. Beds were great. Very clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was just ok. I knew that it would be small and cramped, because it's an historic hotel, so that part was fine. Unfortunately, it wasn't very clean. I had to clean surfaces myself just to be able to stay there. There was food smeared all over the desk chair, the night stand had wet drink rings on it, and there was a tomato slice laying on the ground under the tv stand that was still there when I left because I didn't want to touch it. I'll be it'll be there for months. I paid with a state credit card which means they needed to remove the state taxes from the bill, but they either can't or won't. Trying to get that situation rectified through the Hotels.com customer service chat took almost an hour, and in the end they could not do what I needed them to do. The lesson I learned is that it's better to book the stay directly with the hotel I'm staying at, because at least I can call them and deal with any problems directly, instead of dealing with a call center overseas. I also learned that I paid $50 per night more by using this service than if I had just called the hotel and booked directly, and Hotels.com cannot provide an itemized bill. Pretty dissatisfying experience.

We called in advance, regarding the parking lot. And also asked to make sure we can get our room in time or a little earlier. They said on the phone only at 3 pm as the reservation says. We went there, and the room was not ready. It was 3:03 pm, and the lady was rude, she said with an attitude it is 3:03 when we told her the check in is at 3pm. She said we have to wait. We had to wait another 30 minutes. The room was not even clean, it had a bad smell, and we got allergic spots by next morning sleeping in the bed, itching it was horrible. I will never choose this hotel ever again.

Love this little boutique hotel. It is in a great location. Stayed 3 nights. Enjoyed the balcony space and the lounge/sitting area. Room is fully equipped with TV, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer, etc. Staff was very courteous. My only complaint is that the bed is not plush, and there is only a blanket and no bedspread or comforter. I still had a good night’s sleep regardless.

This is the worse hotel, not only old but dated, not taken care of. No breakfast offered but you can walk 4=5 blocks to ihop! The bathroom tub faucets were rusted out unable to use the claw foot tub! But they didn’t have any hot water for the 2 days we stayed, we advised the staff but just got the run around and lies. They did not offer to discount or comp any of the days, We paid for parking in the back, handicap, and the staff parked in it ! I bet she did not pay for parking. As far as the balcony there is not any way you can see the river walk, but you have a good view of the trashy neighborhood, parking lot!!! Don’t waste your money We made reservations through Expedia they also got an ear full too!!
