Mr Gregory checked us in. The best guy i have met. He knew the city and the best spots to eat at a great price. This gentleman knows his city and is proud off it. No other ataff evwn bothered to speak to us during the day. He works the evening shift. It was an honor staying here and having the opportunity to get to know this man.

It is a unique building, but checkbinbwasnt very smooth. Our room door wasn't opening properly, nor could we close it. There was water leaking in the entryway from the ceiling. We switched rooms and the only available room had no window. The cleaning was somewhat subpar, there was visible substance on the toilet and hair on bathroom.floor and shower. I didn't complain because we were told it was the last available room. Coffee maker didnt work so we had to buy overpruced coffee at cafe.

The property is beautiful; i love the museum on the 1st floor and I loved the location and it felt safe the entire time. The staff was friendly and gave me great recommendations to places to eat. My only complaint was that my room A.C. was broken. The staff was notified and wasn't able to make it to room at 11pm at night.
