The staff and the location were great. Everything else- not so much. Extremely musty smelling, very dimly lit room, the air condition was extremely loud, would blast frigid air for 30 seconds and then the room was hot again, only until the next blast of frigid air. We barely slept. This is the first negative hotel teview I have written. The staff was kind enough to switch us to a different room but it wasnt any better than the first, so we just dealt with it.

Liked: Staff & service
Good location, but room needs freshening up - shower curtain had mildew, shower needed to be regrouted. Floors seemed weirdly sticky and moist. Room had a musty smell. On a weekday, there are no on-site dining options. The photos on website are of the lobby, not the rooms which are vintage-themed in need of refurbishment.

Nice job on the redesign and rebrand. The room was clean and unique. We were there for three nights but housekeeping never once cleaned the room. We had to get our own towels from the lobby and clean up ourselves.
