It is an interesting hotel. We liked the retro look and feel. The service was just average. Our room wasn't cleaned after our first night. Our room keys didn't work after the first night.

Convenient to the Haymarket area, very walkable. While we loved the retro decor, the room wasn’t very clean and it felt like really tight quarters for four of us.
