    The room was cozy, but had everything we needed. Shower had cool accent wall. Loved the history throughout the building. Very good vibes. They included a fan in the room (super helpful and necessary). Plenty of outlets and easy to find.

    The whole experience was good. I know this is not a regular hotel room and restricted in terms of the space based on the concept of jail rooms. We did stay here couple of years before and I think we had the same experience this time as well,...
