Pros:

Es muy buena ubicación y los empleados son muy amables, son serviciales, agiles y hacen todo mega sencillo

Cons:

La verdad fueron varios puntos, el primero siendo que no se estipulaba que tenias que dejar un deposito supongo que tal vez en estados unidos esto es comun pero deberia aclararse el deposito, por otra parte comprendo que el hotel es vintage pero si se siente un poco particular, se sentia un poco como el overlook de the shinning, la taza del baño no era la mejor, son varias cosas que comprendo por el costo sabes que pueden pasar pero de igual forma la atmosfera es particular, no volveria a quedarme aqui lamentablemente

Historic building with very lovely staff.
Pros:

Very historic building with great staff.

Cons:

Rooms are rather old which are a given because of the historic building but they could use a touch up and some noise insulation.
