Be aware of hidden charges + services no provided
Be aware of hidden charges at this hotel. We paid upfront but at check-in we were charged extra $40 per night due to the "usage of the facilities" ...according to them that amount includes the ACCESS to hotel bars and restaurants... we paid to find out that sadly those services were CLOSED during our stay... the upper floor bar was open only one day and the restaurant and other bar remained closed... but the "facility charge" remained!! We feel robbed

Nice hotel close to a nearby wedding. Rooms small- but expected for price. Heat didn’t work at first, but hotel fixed it. Was annoyed facility fee that wasn’t disclosed on Expedia when I booked. Otherwise, was satisfied and would stay again

They charge you a fee for amenities after you book it. Be ready to pay an additional $45/night when you’re comparing costs. That should be included up front

What a great hotel. Has so much character and it was so quiet and I felt very safe as a solo traveler. The room was a perfect cozy size for one person, I had a great view and it was very clean. I can't recommend this hotel enough. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the city.

This hotel definitely had some charm and all the employees were extremely helpful friendly. The room itself was very tiny and dim. With the lights up all the way I still felt like I couldn't see well in the room.

Very nice boutique hotel in a good area that is walkable. There are two bars/clubs at the bar but staying at the hotel doesn't give you any perks to go into them or discounts but good to go and visit them out.
