Historic beautiful property. The pictures make the place seem bigger than it is. We had a suite and it was small. The picture when booking does not come close to resembling the room. They are working on the property so light fixtures on the second floor were hanging. They had a wedding that weekend which made parking a nightmare. I wish someone would have informed us of the wedding rehearsal and wedding that occupied the entire place. I felt like I was intruding on their special day because it took place on the first floor right next to the elevator. I would have found somewhere else to stay had I known.

Charming, historic inn with beautiful colonial decor in the public areas. Is the kind of place you expect fluffy down pillows and comforters, but instead had foam pillows and thin polyester blankets that you get in low-end hotel. Small breakfast buffet with mediocre food. Friendly and helpful staff. Didn't have VIP room upgrade so gave us free snacks instead. Lawnmower outside room at 7 a.m. Didn't put do not disturb sign on door since every hotel I have ever stayed in doesn't do maid service until after the check out time. This place, however, has the maid knock on the door at 9 a.m. to see if you have checked out. So much for sleeping late!

Overpriced and unsatisfying
The room thermostat was set to cool at 74 degrees but kept cycling every ten minutes and making a terrible noise that kept us up all night. The bottle of wine we purchased was only mediocre and priced at five times the retail price. The concierge didn’t tell us anything about how close Little Italy was for dinner and instead referred us to the Euclid Avenue restaurants where we had a mediocre meal. The hotel rate was overpriced for the experience. I came away feeling disappointed and unsatisfied after really looking forward to staying at an historic and original hotel. I would not return.

An attractive building in an interesting area. Computer wasn't working, so there was a little trouble checking in but it was resolved quickly and graciously. Absolutely fantastic meal at L'Abatros, around the corner... worth a drive to Cleveland for that! Overall very pleasant stay.

It was a cute and quiet property . Bar was closed and there were some renovations going on but overall it was a nice stay. I did expect the rooms to have been a little cleaner as there was hair in the shower but overall it was nice
