I told my husband “Historic” means OLD, this hotel is definitely old but for the price, it’s a good deal. Room was kinda dark & had a smell but didn’t take long to adjust. TV is Roku only, no local channels available. Old tub with T-plumbing added for shower but there is the BEST water pressure we’ve ever had! Bed was creaky but comfortable, air conditioning (yes, in December we needed air conditioning) was cold air. The balcony was nice but as in pictures, there’s only a small chain separating from next room. Neighbors were smoking out there (even though there’s NO SMOKING) so we couldn’t enjoy balcony. Very happy there was no smoke smell coming in to our room! The lobby outside our room (2nd floor) was cute with seating & small tables, like for visitors to hang out! Front staff was very cold & unwelcoming! We were NEVER greeted coming in or out. We tried to make small talk but received no response. One late night “laundry” gentleman gave us extra toilet paper & tissue & he was the only friendly staff we saw. Parking was shady so we used the garage next door for $25/night (great price for area) Hotel is within walking distance to just about everything. Overall we were satisfied with our stay. We’d probably stay again if we couldn’t find another hotel around the same price.

We were a little leary about staying here due to some reviews. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Small lobby, found the front desk to be knowledgeable. Breakfast for sale every morning, I think $10. Stayed in a King, Balcony, pretty quiet. There's a big sitting area outside the rooms. The bathroom could use an update, but worked well. Only complaint, our bed was very springy when you sat down on it. The covered parking lot has very sharp turns. Was difficult with my husbands large truck. Overall, we will stay here again. The price is right and the location is great. Be sure to walk to the King Williams district and look at the pretty houses.

This is a boutique hotel so I wasn’t expecting a large lobby, food service, or fancy amenities. However, the limited staff is personable and responsive. Try to get a room with a balcony. It faces the Tower of Americas.

I understand it's a historic hotel but looked too run down. The employees aren't too friendly or informative. Their service is pretty low. The only thing i liked is that it's close to many attractions.
