Everything was nice except when I reached in the closet to get the ironing board, the screws that held the holder to the wall were loose and they cut my hand pretty deep. I told the front desk and they just said they would tell maintenance.

The hotel was beautiful but clearly a mold problem throughout. The air conditioning kicking on and off all night honestly sounds like a jet engine. It was so hard to sleep. Around 2am, someone next door to us banged on the door over and over again so loudly and for at least 3 minutes straight. Bang bang bang it was quite scary. I was internally freaking out!! All my children woke up, my husband served in Iraq for several years and it was triggering for him. I know the hotel can’t control that but wow..that was a lot. Throughout the hotel there was this strange stench. It smelled very much like mold. I had to puff my inhaler all night and into the morning. The cafe made up for all that. The woman running it the next morning was very kind and everything tasted delicious!!

We had an excellent stay at this property. From Jeremiah’s kindness and smile at check in, to Devon’s help with Valet and Angelia’s local recommendations at the cafe, we had a great stay! Rooms were really big, food on property was great and easy walk to everything downtown. We will stay again!

This is a beautifully renovated property. It is true eye candy and very elegant - rare!! The staff was friendly and excellent! There is a parking lot next to the hotel for $10 a night - they use the same lot for valet - missed it and would use it next time. Everything was very clean. The bed and pillows were great. Coffee in the room. I slept well. Two easy blocks from the historic downtown. A great stay. I also ate at the restaurant and was very good with wonderful service. Recommended!
