"This is a historical hotel and it is VERY cool, the rooms are great, amazing AC, very nicely repainted in such nice colors, the whole place is just really neat, there are no TVs in the rooms which I liked, it was like a time machine, sit down and read something instead of the TV, such a refreshing change, they did have wifi which was nice, the lobby was very nice and I highly recommend this lovely historical hotel."
