The flooring in the rooms & decor was pretty cool. Will have to come again when we don’t have kids with us so we can both check out everything. Coffee prices were not outrageous either would of gotten some to go if our hands weren’t full.

The hotel was great. However, the location is downtown and I felt very uncomfortable walking around (even just the block) for food etc with the large amount of homeless individuals on the street. Most were clearly intoxicated and on drugs and laying on the street. We tried to avoid one lady yelling and putting another man in a headlock. I refused to be out after dark. I was with my child and felt uncomfortable walking. Just be aware of the environment around the hotel. But… the hotel was beautiful inside.

This is the second time that we stayed here. Tbe first time it was just my husband and myself. Our son was graduating so we booked this stay for our family. We love how a lot of the hotel is preserved in it's natural form.
