Fun unique historical
Pros:

It was a unique experience, the property was very old but very well taken care of
It was fun staying in a time period of that nature.

Cons:

It was located far from town and the homeless were all around. The streets were dirty and the whole neighborhood was worn out.

The price is worth it and all that you need is nearby so not so shabby
Pros:

Love the Victorian style interior

Cons:

We had to park two blocks away, there was hair in the drain of the shower, and the location is a little bit run down.

Pros:

The suite and it's sunroom and kitchenette. Easy check in and check out also. Affordable, a whole suite for around the same as a king bed room at a corporate chain like holiday or days inn

Cons:

Hair in the tub drain and a few urine spots on the toilet. Windows were mostly unworking or partially openable

Awesome place.
Pros:

The rooms are so neat, the entire place has a Victorian vibe all throughout. And with it being on a major street, the owner supplied us with eye masks and ear plugs. All toiletries were also provided. I would definitely stay there again.

Cons:

I was on the third floor, there's no elevator. But it did me good to use the stairs. Parking is a challenge.

Good value for the price.
Pros:

The staff were very communicative and helped with luggage storage as well as a late check out. The location was very convenient as well.

Cons:

While the property is very fun and eclectic, some of the amenities in the rooms are a bit dated.

Good for a short stay, but much room for improvement.
Pros:

The atmosphere of the entire building was so fun! It felt really boutique and definitely Victorian. The décor and furniture in the common areas/hallways were beautiful.

Cons:

The sheets and blankets on the bed did not seem clean, and I felt uncomfortable sleeping on them. They had a stale, dirt-like smell to them, and the pillowcases had stains and what looked like pet hair on them. The bath towels provided did not exactly meet my needs (no small washcloths were provided), and they had a bit of a mildew smell.
