The best thing about the Downright was the staff. Mr. Hamilton was great in checking us in, directing us to a place for a bbq linch and then letting us know when the room was ready. And when it was our bags we’re already in the room! We got a great dinner rec and just wonderful, friendly service all around. The beds are comfy but the rooms are a bit funky…not enough functional lighting and no drawers to put anything which makes for a messy and disorganized room for 4 nights. Bathroom also didn’t have good lighting and no place to hang towels.

Misrepresentation regarding newest hotel in the city, an old apartment converted into an hotel. Old fashioned style hotel. Very disappointed. The hotel management should have been more transparent with the hotel details. Will be more careful when booking to review offering.
