The jacuzzi tub and bathroom were wonderful and I was able to project movies on to the wall for viewing. Privacy in the
Pros:

Location is good and parking although on the street was easy to find.

Cons:

Outdated and the electrical capacity load to power tv accessories, laptops, phones, etc was limited and would power off if running all together.

Overall, our stay was good. The room and wedding venue was spacious.
Pros:

I liked the boutique hotel and event venue. I also liked the Victorian architecture, historic charm, located near the State Capitol.

Cons:

The old smell of the hotel. The dusty green chair in the corner of the room. Not being able to open the bathroom window to air out the bathrooms musty smell and moisture is uncomfortable. The musty smell triggered my asthma.

Pros:

Very cute hotel, perfect for my wedding! We stayed in The Huntington Suit which was gorgeous and spacious.

Cons:

One of the shower heads didn't work, and figuring out how to make the water a good temperature was really difficult. We didn't shower the first night because the water wouldn't get warm. There was a little kitchen nook, and it would have been nice if it had a microwave or some basic plates/cups. The doors you could just push open without a key, but the whole place was our wedding party so we weren't too concerned.

Not my kind of place!
Pros:

Beautiful old building

Cons:

Needs to have a water cooler on each floor, for coffee maker. TV was super small and poor sound. Lots of street noise throughout the night. No breakfast (vending machine). Nothing near by, and no secure parking.

Convenient location, shame about the wifi, noise and weddings.
Pros:

Great location, easy to find

Cons:

Massive buzz noise reverberating around the room every few minutes. Wifi dropping out regularly. Wedding groups using the lobby area as if it’s part of their room, loud wedding parties till late outside the room window.

Pros:

Charming

Cons:

Never saw a staff member, street parking seemed unsafe, people approached our car for money and I had a child with me. The side entrance was lit better but our key didn't work for that side

Pleasant but not amazing
Pros:

Accommodations were nice and my suite was huge! I was well informed that I would be checking in after the front desk closed. I was sent detailed directions on how to obtain my room key via text but it took me awhile to find my room (this is an old Victorian style building). I did see a baby cockroach on the floor which I had to kill. Also the bathtub faucet leaked. Tissue and toilet paper are thin and rough - on the cheaper end. Don’t see any hotel staff there at all during my 1 night stay.
