Good place in historic downtown.
Pros:

My one night stay was fine. Like most of the recent reviews I read, the room was clean and the staff was polite and helpful. My bed was comfortable and all the surfaces I came in contact with were clean -sheets, sink, toilet, tub, desk, towels.

That said, there are some things people might like to know. This is a very old hotel and it doesn't seem to have ever been remodeled to any quality standard in the last 50 + years. Most furnishings are quite shabby. The pictures make it look in better shape than it is. There are no elevators. It still uses door keys. There was no deadbolt on my door. There was a chain.

Of course, I only know about the room I stayed in.

The hotel is old enough to have had transoms. The glass now replaced with a board and the AC vent. The very cool vintage mechanism to operate the transomes were still there!

The lighting was dim in my room, which was fine by me. The night before I stayed in a place where there was no dim lighting option. Also, you can't adjust the AC. The temperature was fine for me. Which means many people will find it too warm.

I stayed here because I missed my flight. I chose this in order to explore the historic part of town. Be aware half the buildings are empty. And there are mostly fairly high end restaurants and bars/clubs in the area. It seemed deserted until people started coming out for the evening. It was Saturday night. I wondered if I should be concerned about safety. But it was fine.

Pros:

This place was absolutely horrible. First off it doesnt even look like a hotel, you can't even find the place. There's no sign or anything with the name. We got there and they wouldn't even let us in the doors for like 30 minutes. Then we book the room and there's roaches all over the sink. Luckily i was only staying there for like 5hrs of sleep if not i would have canceled right then and there

Pros:

Upon arriving seeing the area and the hotel, my family and I chose not to stay. The area didn’t seem safe and the hotel needs a complete renovation but you get what you pay for and I couldn’t get my money back.

Pros:

I never slept, it was so bad and dirty.
I asked for it to be cancel, the lady there said she did cancel but fast forward, I never got no cancelation email or my refund. Anytime I called, they will pick and tell me to call back that they are busy.

This is terrible experience and I don't thing any sensible person should even try it.
