5/5 Excellent
"I love historic buildings, so staying at the old Montgomery Hotel was a treat for me. Check in was efficient and friendly, room was clean and comfortable - I fell asleep to the ding ding of the trolley passing by. I feel like parking was high at $42/per night, but it's the only game in town with no overnight street parking allowed nearby. Didn't try the hotel restaurant, but there's a great place just across the street from the parking lot, also historic in it's own right. Overall very pleased and would stay here again if I'm coming this way."
