I loved that they lock the property doors before night hits as well as the cleanliness of the establishment. Lots to do all in walking distance. Only thing I did not like is having to find parking in the parking deck around the corner but will stay again!!

Impressed!
Highly recommend this boutique hotel in the heart of Old City. We booked the most inexpensive room with a queen bed, but it was more than adequate for a night. The tall ceilings made the room feel spacious enough. The hotel was spotless and the room was the cleanest I’ve experienced in a very long time. There was no view to speak of, but that was not an issue for a night. Staff was helpful and friendly at every interaction. The hotel is in a great location and within walking distance of many restaurants and sites. The a/c was adequate and very quiet and the hotel itself was very quiet. No earplugs needed to sleep! We skipped the included breakfast, but it looked above par for a hotel breakfast. There’s no valet parking, but they will give you a pass at check in for a garage about a block and a half away. It was very reasonable at $23/night. You can park in the loading zone in front of the hotel for 30 mins at check in and check out. The nightly rate is quite reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. Can’t wait to return!

Room was nice but the A/C controls did not make the room cool enough. Also the water pressure dropped after a bit in the day. If the bathroom is small then the air exhaust should be provided. the whole place steamed up and could not see the mirror....suggestions for improvement!

This is an immaculate hotel- well appointed, looks brand new but with respect to the historical building and surrounding area. Front desk staff was very helpful and courteous. Breakfast had plenty of options.plenty of Dining options within walking distance- cute little French place next door was perfect for a night cap. Room was the quietest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Bathroom was the cleanest I have ever seen. Parking garage very reasonable compared to other hotels downtown. This hotel has great value- wine and cheese complimentary HH mid week and cookies every afternoon. Has the amenities of a Kimpton but without the $$$a highly recommend
