Expect old and and you won't be disappointed
Yes this is a historic hotel and yes their is history. It is not filthy dirty, but it is not clean either. Their were splatter stains on the ceiling, the toilet had a crack and ran non stop. The staff was not rude but not warm either. The location is good for public transit, but not much else. 
This was a Hotwire purchase rated at 3 1/2 stars for 80$. I should have known better but it was a short stay. Parking however ran 40$ a day after taxes.
As the title says know what you are getting and if the price is right and it is for a short stay. It might be worth it.
