I arrived very late-11pm. The bartender- I think her name was Maya but it was so tired, I don’t remember-she was so nice and even carried my suitcase to my room. Was very impressed with the facility and my room!

It was a fun old hotel, character-filled, parking wasn’t easy and check in was acceptable but not overly friendly. Loved the Tavern restaurant, the waitress was wonderful.
