It is a very cool historical building. This creates a great vibe, but also has some limitations. The lobby was breezy and cool on the very cold winter days. Room size was nice, but the shower was cramped and small. However water pressure and hot water were great!

I stay at the Blackhawk every time I come to town for work. BUT.... now that they don't have onsite parking (which is recent) - I would not stay here again. Having to drag a suitcase and other things 2-4 blocks is just horrible. Especially when its cold and bad weather. Unless they fix the parking issue, I would not recommend.
