location was downtown, sorta in a crazy intersection. Parking on street is free but good luck finding parking. $12 parking in garage down the street.
Pros: The staff was super friendly
Cons: our room was missing a refrigerator. The ice machines were dry, and the arm machine was out of order so we had no way to tip our vallet driver

Pros: The room was nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: You can hear EVERYTHING. Lady above us put on her high heels and started walking around at 6am. No sound insulation at all, can hear everything from hallway. No complimentary parking. Should be standard in a city where everyone drives, for that much $.

Pros: Close proximity to the Vista, the statehouse, the university, restaurants. Nicely appointed attractive rooms.
Cons: This hotel is the noisiest I've ever been too. The noise insulation from the hallway's is non-existent. Maids in the hallway are loud, lots of banging and the ice machines couldn't be louder. They coudln't supply a shower cap?

Pros: I love the location. It's a walk away from everything. We loved the martini bar. Very small and quaint.
Cons: The beds were uncomfortable and the floors were creaky, but I guess that's kind of expected in an older hotel.

Pros: Great location. Most of the staff was very helpful.
Cons: The club level wasn't really worth the money. Very limited hours. The big thing was the keys didn't work. First they didn't work on the club level, then to my room. I had to replace the keys several times.

Pros: Loved the bedding! Breakfast restaurant was very pleasant. Staff was friendly and proficient. Starbucks in basement.
Cons: For some reason, we were put in a room for a handicapped person. Bathroom was large, but there was no countertop on which to put toiletries. I had to go repeatedly from sink to windowsill and back again to brush my teeth, put on make-up,do my hair.

Pros: The location was perfect for my needs.
Cons: Unfortunately, the toilet ran off and on. I asked the front desk to send maintenance to take a look. Not fixed and I couldn't get another room. There was a fire on my floor and nobody called or came by to alert me. A fireman in the hall tipped me off.

Pros: The location worked best for me for this business trip.
Cons: I knew it was an old historic property and I like that. However it could use basic cleaning and TLC. Extreemly creaky floor in room and toilet seat not fitting or installed properly. Over an hour wait for sandwich in restaurant. Comp'd but frustrating.

Pros: Housekeeping, Staff and great attitudes. People come in tired, but staff is quick and getting you to room.
Cons: Being environmental conscience is great, but two rolls of toilet paper initially should be in room. Marriot around street is your major competition, which I have stayed in numerous times.

Pros: We've stayed here before. It has a charm to it, being a remodeled old building. We love the rooftop bar. The location downtown is decent, given the ones closer are more expensive.
Cons: Location: Parking is always a pain unless you do valet. The carpet in the common areas is a bit worn. In our room, we had few channels on the TV & the signal was very weak. One remote for the bedroom and bathroom TV, but it barely worked before dying.

Cons: Yes! The idea of being in a wheelchair accessible designed room, which was rather awkward. These type rooms had NO bathroom counter space. Note to self in the future, decline those types of rooms. They should be available only upon request

Not what expected
Pros: Good location and having a Starbucks downstairs was a plus - that's about all this hotel has going for it.
Cons: Room was not ready when we arrived, had to wait an hour to check in
Employees need to be trained in customer service - having to wait that long and not making any accomodations for us was ridiculous
Rooftop bartender was rude
Expected higher standard in all areas -very disappointed

Convenient location and upscale facilities.
Pros: The Valet parking is awesome, Starbucks on site, the rooftop restaurant/bar with an amazing view of the city, and a central location with great restaurants and shopping nearby.
Cons: The room while nicely appointed was in an awkward configuration. The bathroom was "cold", very large with no soft surfaces or floor runners. Lots of echo and slippery floors.
