This hotel is very old, and our room was pretty dirty (there was black mold all over the shower but they cleaned it upon request). However, it's in a great location.

Very nice property, helpful staff, privacy and cleanliness. We really liked the location, beautiful building and quiet atmosphere. No-frills means more affordable! We highly recommend the Architect if you're fine with a less than luxurious mattress and pillows. Will definitely stay there again

Small, but comfortable and clean
The room was much smaller than I'm used to, but it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Good location. Walking distance to many attractions and close to bus stops if you're not a walker.

There was one staff that worked at night which made my stay better. I requested to speak to a manager but I was told I had to email them because they do not come to the property. My email was never answered and I asked for refund that was never addresses.

Did its job
The room was very small. If I were not alone it would have been intolerable. But I only needed the room to sleep during a business trip, so it was fine.

Broken safe and lumpy bed
Our safe was out of order. Someone came up to our room but wasn’t able to set it. We put a do not disturb sign on the door during our entire stay and wasn’t able to get our room cleaned for the 3 night stay. The bed was uneven and very uncomfortable. We won’t be staying here again.
