The staff was exceptional. My only complaint is that the walls are thin so you can hear noise from other rooms.

It was a pleasant stay. We had to be moved to a different room because of a plumbing issue in the room above us, but they took care of it efficiently. The new room was a tad larger and they didn't charge for that. The Anthracite Hotel is our go-to place when we visit family in the area.
