Good attempt to update an old building.
This hotel was nice enough. You can tell they tried to update an older building and for the most part they did a great job. The service was great!!! The people were great. The location was great, easy access to alot. The library, food, and a Starbucks right across the street. The only real complaint i had was the room smelled moldy. It was hot and humid even with the AC set at 66. Also, the valet is $60!! There is cheaper parking arounf the block so do your research.

Spent six days here for a business trip with multiple co-workers. Everyone enjoyed the hotel and the fact that it was smaller and quiet. Nice Tavern down the road made up for the fact that there was no onsite bar. Great location. Great and friendly staff. Will definitely stay again.
