Great downtown stay
Attending a concert at Golden 1 Center and picked this as it was within walking distance and looked pretty cool compared to a standard hotel. The entire property is well preserved with all the Victorian charm of years ago. Great kitchen set up and dining area. Room was comfortable but next time I will bring my own pillow as they were typical hotel style. The staff was also super friendly, will be back
