8.2/10 Very Good! (1,004 reviews)
The checking in process was pretty fast. However the gentleman at the reception desk was not very friendly. I walked up and said hello, he said how may I help you? no hello back. Them he sort of pointed to the back and said the elevators are to my left.He was not wearing a name badge so I do not know his name, but the other two young ladies that I came in contact with at the desk were much better. Not overly friendly, but much better.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,379 reviews)
This hotel was okay. Decent breakfast, clean rooms, staff were helpful. Our main complaint is that the beds were very uncomfortable and we struggled to get any rest on them.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (709 reviews)
Wonderful restored apartment building from 1920s, mostly original elegant woodwork. Some rooms still with much or all original features - such as a cast iron clawfoot tub in our room (Dahlia), also an old treadle sewing machine converted to a side table. Very generous and helpful staff, including breakfast chef who made a hearty breakfast each day. Great location ~7 blocks walk from historic district. Only minor drawbacks - slightly worn linens, bed so-so, curtains not light-blocking at least in our room.
