Everything was great. Unfortunately I didn’t check but most of the rooms are windowless. As I’m claustrophobic this was issue. The other thing if you are coming by car is the parking which is about half a block away. These are common themes for hotels in the historic center though. If you are looking for traditional American comfort try hotels on the other side of town
