It's an historic hotel with some key events that took place here (e.g. an important studio recording by Robert Johnson; headquarters of Robert E Lee during the Mexican-American war). The rooms feel a bit tired and need some maintenance and updating. The bedding was a bit hard and stiff, unlike some of the plusher options in the area.

The HVAC unit in the room would run every so often with a loud rattle, which made it impossible to get a restful night of sleep.

At least the service was good, as was the price. Friendly and helpful staff. Valet only parking for a steep price. We parked on the street a few blocks away for free overnight 6pm-8am (download the SA parking app so you can feed the meter at 8am from the comfort of your bed).
