I would stay again as it's a good value for the money. more on Expedia

The hotel was good for one night's stay. more on Yahoo! Travel

It was built in the early 1900's, and apparently soundproofing wasn't added. more on Epinions.com

And the bonus was that the Whole Food Store is one block away!!! more on Travelocity.com

The continental breakfast was great, and you even get a kitchen if you feel like cooking. more on CitySearch

Let me say up front that the only good point in my stay there was the staff. Other than one somewhat surly female who checked me in, the staff was lovely both on the ... more on Epinions.com

My family and I recently stayed at the Mark Spencer (selected because of its location), and we were sorely disappointed. It was built in the early 1900's, and apparently ... more on Epinions.com
