The Herbert is simple, affordable, located where I needed to be, and was absolutely perfect for my week-long visit. There were a few minor hiccups, tiny flaws here and there, but I am not a traveler who requires perfection, luxury, or all the amenities -- I do appreciate affordability combined with character and the Herbert and the neighborhood have that down! I enjoyed my simple room and kept the window open a bit a night to enjoy the sounds of the street drifting up (enjoy? YES! I like the sound of life happening around me!) If you read the reviews and look at the photos you will have a good idea of what to expect of the rooms and the neighborhood. There are convenient spots for budget food nearby (the Walgreens next door has a great assortment of pre-made meals), and the room I was in also had a mini-fridge and hot water kettle, which totally helped my budget out! I loved my room and won't hesitate to stay at The Herbert again.
