Jerry, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was conveniently located and so so eclectic and charming. The decor was super unique, the room was spacious and the beds were really comfortable. Our only real complaint was that the bathroom was kind of rundown, the toilet was running and the bathtub was kind of stained (not really DIRTY but like permanently stained). There was a very simple hot breakfast, adequate but not fancy. Overall very pleased.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is worth staying at just for the free breakfast and artwork alone. The room was comfortable, bar is cozy, but the HVAC in our room was annoyingly loud. The breakfast, however, makes up for a lot! Fresh Pastries, fresh fruit, bottles of water, variety of bottled juices, coffee, tea, milk, scrambled eggs, sausage patties and more! And the artwork is like strolling through an art gallery. We always enjoy our stay. The elevator could be cleaner.

Derek, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Waited 10mins at an empty desk to check in while the attendant was “away”, food service was awful, window was open in room so it was freezing in January, room smelled moldy. 0/10. I honestly cannot express how bizarre the whole evening was.
