This hotel is super cute, and has done a really good job of preserving its old timey features (elevator, signage). The room is small but for a few days and a couple of carryons it was quite comfortable. The rooms are decorated very nicely too, and I liked that the sink was outside of the bathroom in our room. The rooftop is super pretty and has great views
