The Explorers Society Hotel

What you see is what you get here. I think some people are overly harsh about this place, honestly. The staff were very kind, but you may have to park on the street. The room was spotless, the bathroom looked great; the decor is funky and unique, if dated. Breakfast is pretty sparse but there are a bunch of good places for breakfast a short walk away, as are many other amenities/restaurants. We stayed on the bottom which we were told can be noisy, but the only noise came from housekeeping or people leaving upstairs in the morning. Nothing to complain about, really, I would stay again, no doubt.

Nice hotel but as many reviews mention, very dated. They must spray some sort of fragrance cause it smells very strongly of perfume, we had to air out our room before we could sleep in it. Good news is the bed was comfy and the shower was great. Breakfast was very minimal, they call it a continental breakfast but it's just toast, hard boiled eggs and orange slices. The price is hard to beat but you definitely get what you pay for. Overall I'd still recommend and would probably stay here again.

We stayed for one night while passing through. The room was quite dated and the floors were creaky, but the beds were comfy. Definitely a more rustic feel with a bit of character. The included breakfast was pretty minimal. It would’ve been nice to see a few more options available besides toast and hard-boiled eggs. Overall, it's an okay stopover for a short stay, but I wouldn’t choose it for a longer visit.
