If you compare this hotel to others you're probably going to be disappointed. It is a product of its time which gives it a certain amount of charm. Everything works, and rooms are comfortable. The staff were pleasant and the location is excellent. The only major gripe is I wished they communicated the parking situation better; there's a garage nearby you can use ($17 / night) if you don't want to play street parking roulette.

The Hotel Duncan is a unique place, the lovechild between the hotel from The Shining and a David Lynch fever dream. It's a trip to the past. Its decade-old charm will be sorely missed in its new renovation. Price is great, rooms are just dilapidated enough, location is excellent. Stay here before it changes in late 2017

the hotel wasn't that bad.. but still pretty bad. the police showed up about 6 times during my 2 night stay. the rooms have less room then a car, the employees were nice though. they had nice smiles but their hair smelled kinda odd. it wasn't that bad of an experience besides the mafia showing up and taking my daughter for a couple of hours, they brought her back with a tattoo of a corn cob on her shoulder. i didn't really mind it since i hate my daughter but besides that... i'd give it 2.5 stars out of 5.

One might say that it's a seedy hotel, another might say that it's charming, and they'd both be right.
If you're tired of the same-old same-old plastic McLuxury found in most hotels today, well then this is definitely different. The room was clean, but the walls carried at least a century of paint layered to a significant depth. There is history in that!
The bath was old fashioned but like most old fashioned baths, it was adequate, and it did included a very comfortable "normal" sized tub (not those micro sizes so common today).
We were in the front on the fourth floor, I could see the L of an vertical HOTEL DUNCAN sign out my curtained window. It was an eerie but soft white at night. I am grateful it wasn't flashing.
The Lobby was right out of the 1890s. Not as glitzy as some I've seen, but definitely authentic, right down to the photos of celebrity guests covering one wall of an adjoining office.
The treasure of this hotel is the manually operated elevator. Now by "manually", I don't mean you had to push a button extra hard. No, there was an actual employee whose job was to run the elevator! Opening the door, closing it again, closing the safety gate, then pushing the rheostat thingy forward for going up, backward for going down. Good Lord! I haven't seen one of those since going with my Mom shopping at Hartford's old G Fox and Company back in the 1950s!
The staff were a delight. Very friendly, very cooperative. When it was pouring out, they volunteered to loan us an umbrella. Apparently, they keep a supply!
This hotel's not for every day, but I'll definitely be back. :-)
