Pros (+) The room was old and dirty. It looked like it hadn't been deep cleaned for a long time. The door latch looked like someone had previously tried to use a knife or something to break in and the damage was just painted or stained over.

Pros (+) The location was great and the staff was friendly and polite. Beds were comfortable and the decorations are nice.
Cons (-) The room was a little dusty and Part of the wall had some marking on it.
Pros (+) Just a solid business hotel
Cons (-) Decor was generic in rooms, common areas, and outside. Thoroughly dull.
Pros (+) Bell hops and valets were very kind and professional.
Cons (-) Pet policy is not clearly stated on their website. We arrived at the hotel with the intention of sightseeing and ended up being stuck in our room watching our dog because the policy doesn't state online that you have to stay with him at all times even if he's in a crate.

Pros (+) We only stayed for a night so did not get to take advantage of the beautiful lobby with many seating areas from high tops to cozy couches. Somehow it felt very open yet very homey and welcoming at the same time. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Very friendly staff.
Cons (-) The heater in our room sounded like a mini-explosion every time it kicked on. The walls were paper thin. We were wakened by two female voices and two babies at 7:30 am. I would have sworn they were in our room.
Pros (+) Access to historical sites and great restaurants
Pros (+) Good check in person
Cons (-) Internet service
Pros (+) Location was awesome. Staff was friendly.
Cons (-) Terrible TV...too small and very blurry. Food menu was weak...not enough variety and over priced for the quality. Should not have had to pay an extra 30.00 for one nights parking...outrageously over priced and a very sneaky added expense.
Pros (+) Room fab!
Cons (-) Parking fee was ridiculous!
