The hotel is charming and only one block from the main strip! It was unique, the staff was friendly and we enjoyed the Whiskey bar. The steak and frites was delicious!

The tub spout was out of order. The room and linen smelled oddly. When scheduling my reservation I was not informed that a class reunion party was scheduled on the same day as my stay. Some warning would have been cordial regarding the high volume noise level. Extremely small and limited space available in valet area.

The stay was fine for one night. Staff was very nice, we got two free drinks at the bar next door. The room was just very small, no fridge and had a strange smell.

Vincent is great! Gave us great ideas of where to go and what to do. Rooms are quaint and cute. Very clean and quiet. Fireplace didnt work, which was a bummer but no biggie. Walking distance to Petco park. Very safe area. Tons of eating within walking distance. They have in and out valet parking for a price. Everyone is so nice.

I understand it is an older hotel but it lacks convenience of the 21st century. No room service was the biggest let down.
