Mildly concerned turns into pleasantly surprised
Pros:

Was curious when I had to retrieve my room key from the attendant at the bowling alley, once I got in the building, my worries were gone. The building is amazing, the rooms exceeded expectations, staff was the best, location couldn’t be beat. I don’t have enough good this to say about this place.

Cons:

If you are staying for the weekend especially, this place does have a mini bowling alley above it, so there is some noise in the afternoon evening time. This may have just been my room, but afternoon naps were not a thing.

Cool rooms with modern/retro feel but challenging to access and noisy.
Pros:

Loved the retro feel. Room was comfortable and very clean; spacious with great amenities. Free parking.

Cons:

Parking, while free, was challenging to find a space to park. Elevator situation is not good; very small and not easy to access due to the high volume of patrons and staff using it; lots of very long lines. Duck pin bowling was right above our room and very noisy. The access code to use the stairway door did not work.

Definitely stay
Pros:

Quirky, weird, super clean room, bed was terrible and they definitely need curtains but safe, convenient, clean and fun.

Cons:

I knew to expect it but you do hear noise from the bowling alley on the floor above. No naps or early bedtime.

Quirky Adventure filled with Fun.
Pros:

Very quirky place with two old bowling ally’s and a Speakeasy. The place was built in the 1930s, so tons of character. Rooms are modern and very nice and spacious.

Cons:

No front desk staff. Kinda weird way to get key at a bar around the corner. Added to the quirkiness though.

Pros:

The staff was super flexible and the directions to get into and out of the building were VERY clear and explained well both via email and in person.

Cons:

There is nothing I didn’t like other than construction nearby which the hotel itself cannot control.

Great historical building in a great location.
Pros:

The location is fantastic. We love the speakeasy in the building, The Commodore. We also love The Inferno Room, which is a short walk away. It’s very close to the convention center as well.

Cons:

This time, the fountain itself was under construction. But that’s okay. We didn’t really come for the titular fountain view.
