7.6/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable but felt a bit cramped with views of buildings or parking lots. The service was excellent, especially for mobility impaired travelers, and the friendly staff offered us a breakfast voucher as a gesture of goodwill. The location was fantastic for exploring the city, but I wouldn't choose to stay here again. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some tasty options but seemed a bit overpriced. Overall, it's a decent choice if you're looking for value and convenience.

7.2/10

The hotel rooms were on the small side, and unfortunately, there was no air conditioning during my stay. The staff tried to help by providing a fan, but it wasn't very effective. However, the historic nature of the building meant expecting cozy rooms. Although the price was a bit high, I won't be returning to this hotel.

Upon my return from my meetings around 3pm, I found the room was not as described and lacked sufficient amenities. I felt unsafe with only half a deadbolt on the door, especially as a solo female traveler.
