"It seems like ratings are pretty divided on this property. Now that I've been, I can completely see why that's the case, and kinda wanted to spell out everything I found great and not-so-great:
Great
The look - everything is quintessential old town architecture, inside and out, and is a beauty to behold.
The staff - while my interactions with them were minimal, they were always exceedingly pleasant.
Price - it's right in town, and, at least for the day I was in town, considerably cheaper than the Hampton.
Cats - the courtyard, which itself was a cute little feature, had some very adorable feline residents in it.
Not-so-great
The noise - this was the one criticism I was aware of going in, but I didn't know the extent of it until I was at the hotel. The bar next door was active until sometime between midnight and 1 AM. I was fine with this, as I wasn't attempting to fall asleep until after midnight. However, beyond just being in a noisy setting, the walls in this hotel are probably the thinnest I've ever experienced, as no sound from outside was insulated. This resulted in me waking up quite a few times earlier than I was hoping to.
Parking - they do have an on-site lot...it's minuscule. This probably wasn't a big deal in the era before paid parking downtown, because there is plentiful street parking nearby. But with free parking vastly diminished, this becomes a more annoying issue.
Room size - smallest I've seen since Manhattan.
Overall it's fine for a night, but not perfect."
