Cute place to stay if you like that old style feel of a hotel. Lots of places to eat or get drinks near by. Only bad thing was the water in the shower, it was either super cold or scorching hot, could not get it at a normal temperature to shower.

Room was fresh, clean. Staff were welcoming, courteous, and helpful. 1928 vibe—a 1928 chilled water faucet remains in the wall above an updated pedestal basin and faucet in the bathroom, which still features the small white honeycomb tiles of that era. You can sense the Flapper era throughout the hotel—the elevators have shiny copper doors.
