Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests overwhelmingly praised the hotel's central location, which is within walking distance to many attractions and convenient for events. However, many reviews expressed serious concerns about cleanliness, including unpleasant odors, mold, bugs, and general disrepair. Service was mixed, with some staff described as friendly and helpful, while others were seen as unhelpful or indifferent. Room sizes were often considered small, and amenities such as parking, elevator, and in-room features were lacking or outdated. Despite these issues, a few guests appreciated the historic charm and found the rooms comfortable and clean.

Pros (+) Location
Cons (-) The entire stay. Mattress are old, you can litterally bruss you teeth while in the shower at the sink. The smell of drugs are persistent in the halls and elevator. No outlets to plugs Conveniently available to plug in the fridge and microwave in the room. Last the microwave was broke, water damage and cracks in the ceiling.

Cons (-) Had to park in a parking garage away from the hotel which I know can’t be fixed. It’s an old hotel but they could have done better at restoring it. I could hear people talking on the street and I was on the six floor. Worried elevator would break down. Bed was very uncomfortable.

Pros (+) Location is great. That's about it.
Cons (-) WIFI doesn't work for more than 5 mins at a time and drops for 30 mins then back up. Pretty annoying if you are trying to take care of some work. Rooms are small, old and somewhat dirty. The window AC unit was so loud I had to turn it off to sleep. No coffee or breakfast provided. Starbucks is 2 blocks. Stayed two nights, somehow my reservation got messed up and they made me move to a different ro...

Pros (+) I liked the front desk staff. They are all very nice and helpful. They gave me great restaurant advice, helped with my various questions and were polite. I loved the old Spanish style look and feel of the place. And you can’t beat that location!
Cons (-) I wished my room was bit cleaner. Dust bunnies, cob webs, filthy windows. It needs a deep cleaning and probably a new bed. The interior felt very worn down and neglected, unfortunately.

Pros (+) Location, bar and resturant attached
Cons (-) The rooms were dirty, the bed was uncomfortable, the bathroom door was glass that you can see through, no amenities, warm water only in the shower not hot. Linens on the bed were stained.

Collin, Apr 2018
Pros (+) Location is close to everything downtown
Cons (-) For starters the staff had clear issues on the basic checkin and check out process. Luckily my room was ready in time however many other guests were asked to wait. Upon getting the room it was adequate for our one night stay smaller than described in pictures but big enough for two all the same. However I requested and lid for a late check out as I was competing in a triathlon the following day. I...
