A Historic Adventure
Staying right in the middle of a historic district is interesting and it's exactly where this hotel is located. You can easily visit the markets that go up and down Market Street. It's blocks and blocks of fun. There is just about everything from fine dining to great entertainment.

You Can't Get Better Than This Staff
The staff is wonderful. They are a cheerful bunch from the moment you walk in the door till the time you leave. You are treated like they really want you there. Everyone from housekeeping to the valet to the front desk are superb.

Take The Freebie
The facility is a timeshare and if you go to the sales presentation you are compensated via free parking and a gift card. If you can sit for a couple hours it might be a good idea and worth your time. You may even come out of the presentation with a stake in a timeshare!

negative:
Monster Stairs
The stairs leading from the sitting area to the upstairs bedroom and full-bath are steep. If you have problems going up and down stairs, you may have a problem getting the full use out of this type of facility.
negative:
Sketchy Housekeeping
Your room may be clean upon arrival, but afterward you are pretty much on your own. You may get your bed made and fresh towels, but you may have to do the nitty-gritty cleaning yourself. They are not good at replenishing things either, so stock up on toilet paper.
negative:
Timeshare Blues
The devil is in the details, so if you sign up for the timeshare presentation, you might find yourself bombarded with phone calls about booking properties in other regions.
