This hotel was built in the early 1900s and has the gated elevators to prove it. Although the rooms are modernized, they retain their quaintness. There is a 24 hour cafe in the lobby serving anything on the menu (except the alcohol) any time of day.
Why a low rating? Noise. There is a sign at the front desk warning that it is the entertainment district.... I am a heavy sleeper, but when the bars emptied around 2AM the noise was unreal. If only they had spent the money to install double pane windows....
