The hotel is affordable and offers amenities. The bed was comfortable. Renovated nicely with color and nice decor. The only complaint are the blinds and the headboard needed to be dusted off, maybe the room was vacant for awhile.

Great location
This was our second stay here. The staff was great. The room was fine. It has a lot of street noise. The bed comfortable but had a dip in the middle.

Lovely Hotel
Lovely hotel. We were very comfortable.The only reason I rated it 4 stars was due to the parking situation. If you don't want to pay $50 per night for valet parking, your only choice is street parking. We were lucky it was a Sunday night so I'm sure not as challenging as it could be.

Interesting historic property
Interesting old hotel in great condition. Good-sized room for an old hotel, but room layout was awkward. Front desk staff was helpful, housekeeping not so much. Good location for public transit. Rough neighborhood and very noisy at night.

Perfect in all ways
Great location and valet parking made it easy to have a secure place for the car with all the luggage inside. Very quiet, even thought the hotel is in a buddy area. Well filled fridge, with unusual interesting drinks. Good coffee maker…but the “welcome” on a $13 artisan water bottle, made me grinch…the Italian restaurant “Amari” down stairs made the stay perfect.

The hotel is great - nice rooms and amenities and friendly staff. The area of town is a little tricky because there is a soup kitchen very nearby, as well as late-night bars - it can be noisy at times of day/night when sleep is preferred.

Fun Staycation spot
Great spot near a couple music venues. Several things nearby to check out. Big spacious room. Missing creamer though- wish I had checked the night before.
Well stocked mini bar with snacks too.

Lacking Hospitality
Small irritating things were very lacking. The essence of great hospitality is exceeding the small expectations and needs of each customer. If you can’t meet that, you have failed miserably at the most basic level of what your industry is all about. Will not be back

The hotel was very nice and the staff were super accommodating. The area is accessible with public transportation, but there were so many unhoused and vagrants wandering around.
