Very Good Room in a historic building from the 1800's, with very few of the drawbacks of an old hotel
The hotel is located in the Mount Vernon district, which is the happening area of the city with a number of great bars, clubs, and restaurants in close walking distance. The hotel is located in a building that is probably from the 1880's, so expect the room layout to be a bit unusual, and the floors and stairways to be a bit creaky. The ceilings must have been at least 12 feet high. We appreciated the thick carpeting, ipod dock, and comfortable bed. The neighborhood seems recently gentrified, and is great for pub crawling, cafes, and hole in the wall restaurants serving excellent food. The real clincher is the price, only $80.00 for a clean and comfortable room in the center of all the action. This hotel is an excellent choice for European travelers or American urbanites who love exploring new neighborhoods. Ma and Pa Kettle on a road trip from Texas with the brood in tow might not particularly like this hotel
