People banging on doors at 2 in the morning and the pictures provided for the hotel are blatant lies. Dingy motel with almost no redeeming qualities other than having the basic necessities.

Gorgeous historic hotel, top notch amenities. Stuff is very helpful and friendly. Restaurant is very good. One thing to know - not all rooms are equally well located and appointed. Our room central AC was broken, and portable AC unit was very noisy. We asked to move to a different room, which was much better but had windows with frosted glass for privacy. Do inquire ahead of time to make sure you are booking a good room.
