I really wanted to love this place— I love old buildings. However, too many things were wrong to visit again. The young lady on staff tried to fix one of the issues, but it created other problems. Parking was ridiculous—not the $33 but that I had to be wedged between two other cars, and it was understood I couldn’t move my car during my stay. The first room I was in had not been cleaned well. The bathroom was really dirty—shower, toilet & sink. One of the beds was slightly disheveled. The young lady moved me across the hall to a much smaller room with a “private” bathroom across the hall. Unfortunately, the other guests didn’t read the sign. The mattress in the new room felt like a stuffed paper bag. The room had all the necessities (bed,light,TV) but was so tiny that the bed was pushed up against the window, so all night I heard every drunken conversation yelled 3 floors below AND the T passing by. When I left my room in the morning, there were multiple balls of dirty linens all over the small floor space on the 3rd floor landing, blocking my door and my across-the-hall bathroom. The floor was dirty in every room I was in— not old, but dirty.The two ladies that checked me in and out were very kind, and there was a continental breakfast of bagels and croissants and cereal and coffee, which was nice. The outside of the building was very pretty, but again, somebody dropped a bag of dog poop right in front of the building. Cleanliness is an important factor— inside and out!
