I stayed at this hotel for one night while in town for a concert, and it was quiet and in a very convenient location. Valet parking was available for $42 per day. Although I did not get a chance to visit the speakeasy, I heard it is a must while staying here. The two queen room was very nice, with plenty of space between the beds, which I really appreciated. The room was newly renovated and smelled amazing. I am not sure what air freshener they use, but the scent lasted throughout my entire stay.
I also ate at Tavernonna, which is located inside the hotel. I ordered the salmon piccata, and the food itself was good. Unfortunately, the downside was the staff, mainly the bartender.

This hotel is a very nice historic building! It will be 100 years old on 2030. The design and the atmosphere is kept with all the wood and the old fashioned style. I enjoyed staying there and talking to the employees. The room was neat but the door shower was not opening and closing properly. They kept the room clean. There was a restaurant in the hotel , they were supposed to open till 10:00p.m . So I went to eat at 9 and they were closed! I asked why the employee explained that they didn't have much orders! I slept without food that night because I couldn't go out to eat with the cold weather.
Also one day I came back and found the fire alarm running and the fire fighter in the hallway! There was a little fire alarm in the kitchen or something so I had to stay in the lobby for a while before going to the room. Thank God everyone was safe

I stayed here for a conference downtown and had a great experience. It was very affordable with block pricing for conference attendees and my room was upgraded to a corner which was a fun surprise. Rooms are small and have limited amenities due to the age of the building but this is clear on the website. As a single traveler for a conference who just needed a place to relax and sleep it was ideal. Big claw tub was very nice. Everything was clean and I had no issues with security. Staff were helpful and friendly. The elevators are very small and it was a long wait in the busy mornings to get one that was empty. Which was worse for me because I was on a high floor and couldnt really handle the stairs. Overall I enjoyed staying at this historic hotel, it was very beautiful.
