Unique hotel with super fun aesthetics. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful but the property was under staffed. Want times no one at the front desk and in the evening the only person working was in the basement serving drinks behind the bar. Couldn’t be a more convenient location though! Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants.

Everything was great... with one exception... I didn't care to much for the mattress on the bed...higher in the middle and sloping down on both sides.

The elevator was unpredictable. Sometimes it worked sometimes not. Either a staff member(if one was around) or my husband had to go find it and send it to the floor I was on. I'm handicapped and had to creep down a flight of stairs at least three times during our stay. The maid service was spotty. Sometimes they cleaned, made the bed etc. and other times didn't show up at all. The staff was generally helpful when they were around. Luckily the elevator always worked when we came in through the basement. The bed was too soft for my husband and he had trouble getting out of it. The self serve breakfasts were very nice with lots of options but several of the tables were too high for the chairs so that one was at heart level when seated. Our room had one chair so one of us had to sit or lie on the bed. TV was great featuring Netflix and a couple other streaming networks. All said I doubt we'll return.

Paid full price for a broom closet. Was not happy. If they try to give you room 101, should be for half price. The lipstick on the glass that wasn't ours, did it.

Historic hotel offers a unique experience

This historic, boutique hotel is a gem. Beautiful decor with vivid colors and unique lighting. Lots of comfortable public spaces, including a bar and a kitchen that stays open with yummy cookies, coffee and tea. The buffet breakfast was a lovely presentation of healthy choices and treats. We loved our room with its big windows and fireplace. Can't beat the location-walking distance to restaurants, shops, parks and historic sites so leave your car in the hotel parking lot. The staff also go out of their way to ensure you have a pleasant experience. Highly recommend
