This hotel was built in 1920s and it was lovely. The history can be felt throughout this building from beautiful ceiling and historic safe in the entrance hall to 1920s style elevators. I found the hotel quiet in general. That said, those who are light sleepers, like myself, ask for a room in the back of the building not facing the alley/street or next to elevators. My first room was 606 not facing the street but facing the alley but every morning about 5am street noise woke me up and I could occasionally hear the elevator at night. The wonderful and polite gentlemen at the front desk found a perfectly quiet room at the back of the building. Any room ending with 19 to 16 (619, 618...) is located away from street. There was no A/C in the rooms but there were fans and all my windows opened. Some rooms seemed to be more renovated than others. Liked that there was a microwave and the fridge. The rooms and bathrooms were quite clean with the exception of behind the bed that needed some dusting. Bed was comfortable. Some reviews did mention some unpleasant smell, and yes some of it was present, however, I think this is due to the old cosntruction. I smelled the same thing thoughout the city as passed old buildings etc. I didn't find this to be a problem for me. The breakfast is minimal and basic but I appreciated the hard-boiled eggs and bread. Dispite some reviews, it was well stocked and seemed enough for everyone. I would stay at this hotel again.
