    Charming outdoor gated patio.

    Our stay was marred by incredibly rude staff members. One employee accused us of smoking when we had no involvement in such behavior, making our last day very uncomfortable. Additionally, we encountered noise issues from a nearby rooftop party, entirely ruining our chance for restful sleep after a long drive.

    Consider requesting a room on a higher floor to minimize noise from the lively street below.

    I loved the historic charm of my cozy Queen Room! The staff, especially Zayda, were super friendly and helpful. My only issue was the loud bar noise at night. 😅

    historic charm
    disruptive noise
    limited parking

    The room was beautifully decorated and cozy. I loved the comfortable bed and the linens were great. Everything felt really clean and well-maintained. The charm of the historic building made it special, but the noise from the bar next door was pretty disruptive at night. Parking was a bit tricky due to the nearby bar crowd, which made it less than ideal.

    Unexpected noise disaster

    Woke up in a charming room infused with history. The friendly staff made check-in easy and the rooftop bar was a nice escape.

    A Charming Gem with Room for Improvement

    Our stay felt truly special due to the hotel's historic charm and modern amenities. Though the lively atmosphere outside brought noise, the delightful dinner at Barristers was a highlight. Enjoy the comfy beds and make sure to request a room away from the nightlife for a restful night!

    beautiful historic charm but noisy at night

    The room was stunning and impeccably clean, with attention to detail in every corner. Check-in with Meagan was exceptional. her friendliness made me feel welcome immediately. The building's historic charm truly enhances the stay, making it feel unique compared to standard chain hotels. I also appreciated the gorgeous dining area, which seemed inviting even though I couldn't partake.

    Unfortunately, the noise from nearby establishments disrupted my sleep.

    The hotel has a charming atmosphere, but

    the noise from the bar next door was disruptive. I loved the historical charm of the building, but it really impacted our sleep quality. If you plan to stay here, perhaps consider a weekday visit.
