First let’s address the elephant in the room or lack there of. My wife and I just like many of you did read the review about bed bugs. We thought about cancelling our trip but after some consideration we decided to “risk it”. Boy am I glad we did! Not only were there no signs of bugs ( of any kind) in our room. It ended up being one of the most fun and whimsical rooms we’ve stayed in. Ed was a great host he is on site for any issues. I would like to note that this is a very old hotel built in the 1930’s I was told. There is no fan or ac so if you’re from the south like us and expect one don’t. Because of this you will probably sleep with the window open so expect a significant amount of downtown noise. If this bothers you I suggest bringing ear plugs to sleep with. The place is quite clean and free of bugs and the bag check made our stay go very smoothly so we didn’t have to drag luggage around the city. If you’re on the fence just do it you’ll be happy you did, we are very happy that we took the risk and ended up having a great vacation.
