8.2/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
Big, bright and spacious room, looked lovely on the surface. Desk was badly water damaged on top, large swath of the carpet was wet from the (very loud) portable AC unit in the middle of the room. The Jacuzzi tub, which was the main reason I booked this place over another historic option, had clearly been painted over numerous times, layers that now chipped off, exposing cracks reaching from one jet to another. It did not even seem like the tub would hold water, even if I had tried. (Not to mention the fact that the hot water was warm, at best.) I did not mind the contact-less check-in; I received a text with which box my key would be in and the code worked fine. Would have been nice for the room to have a list of amenities in the lobby even if it is just water and coffee and ice has some other reviewers have mentioned. The art felt random, the bathroom mirror was hung crooked, the portable AC was pretty much all or nothing, the faucet on the sink was barely usable, the bathroom accessories completely out of place. It took me a couple of hours to finish what should have been about 15 minutes worth of work because the wifi was so wretchedly slow that I ended up having to hotspot from my phone in order to save files to the server. There's a big difference between historic and old and unfortunately, well this place May have been lovely and historic at some point, it now just feels old and unkept.

Almost perfect...I was 90 degrees when we got there and only then that we found out the entire building doesn't have AC. Not because it wasn't working, but it was never equipped with one. Having to carry all of our stuff using the stairs since there were no elevators was fine too. That AC is a must!
