The carpets in the room were stained, the comforter on the bed had bleach stains on it, the towels were rough and thin (almost falling apart). The bathroom was tiny, even for me (a 5'0" woman) and there was NO vanity so it was very difficultt to get ready in the mornings. The shower head had scum on it and the water pressure was non-existent. One of the outlets wouldn't even hold my charging brick for my phone (it just fell out of the wall). My room key de-magnetized twice during my stay which was incredibly inconvenient, but thankfully the staff were helpful and very nice. The deadbolt on my door wouldn't close unless I physically pulled the door up (not that easy for a small woman, but that's what the doorman himself told me to do). My room had 2 windows which looked directly into another guest's room so I had to keep the blinds closed the entire time. I dislike that the hangers aren't actual hangers that came off the closet, so I couldn't hang my attire anywhere else. The only reason I even gave it more than 1 star is because my heat worked and the whole town lost power during my stay but our power stayed on. And no, I shouldn't have to book a "deluxe" room to have a decent room. The hotel is 120 years old and felt every bit of its age.

Perfect for going to the Theater!
We were there for 2 nights for a show at the theater across the street. if you are going to the Golden State Theater, this hotel is perfect. I will note that the water pressure (3rd floor) is very week and the toilet plugged once. lastly, the WiFi sucked! That said, it was during the December storm that knocked out power to 10's of thousands so this may hve had an effect.
