Tiffany, Shari, Krystal, Jazz, and Jeremiah were great! Very classy historic hotel, good food in bar, and excellent piano player there. Only two disappointments:(1) A big ripoff was the $25 fee for parking and (2) they were unable to print two very important forms for me from a flash drive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
While the facility was visually appealing, the overall stay was underwhelming. The shower had visible mold, and the room had an unpleasant odor. The property also appeared to be understaffed, which affected the service. Both the bartender and the restaurant host were not particularly welcoming. Overall, this experience made me reconsider staying at boutique or “unique” hotels and lean more toward well-established hotel brands in the future.

I had a really lovely stay at this hotel. Everything was clean, cute, and thoughtfully designed, and I especially loved the artwork displayed throughout the property, it gave the whole place a unique and creative vibe. The architecture is beautiful, and the overall atmosphere felt cozy yet modern. The location is excellent, super convenient with plenty of dining options just blocks away, plus an on-site happy hour that was surprisingly good. The room itself looked great and had plenty of space to spread out and relax. It felt comfortable and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The staff were wonderful as well, friendly, helpful, and genuinely warm, which made the stay even better. The hotel’s breakfast café was another highlight; the coffee was fantastic and a perfect way to start each morning. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to consider upgrading the TVs. The one in my room was a bit on the smaller side. That said, the channel selection was excellent, so it didn’t take away from my overall experience. Overall, this hotel is a charming, well-located spot with great design, great amenities, and even better staff. I would absolutely stay here again.
