Great stay!

The hotel is well located near many cafes and cute bookstores. The staff are friendly and answer to your needs quickly. The beds are very comfortable! I do recommend staying on the upper level if you want it to be more quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at The Annex. It was for one night as we were in town for a show. Check in was a breeze due to the kind and efficient staff. Our room was amazing! We listened to some great records while getting ready to go out. Also enjoyed a drink in the cozy lobby/bar area after dinner. We'll be back. Thank you to everyone who made this stay so wonderful!

The Annex is a gem in the heart of the city. A welcoming, friendly, well-appointed facility with loft-style rooms. The showcase, though, is the staff who are professional, friendly and committed to excellence.

Good hotel, but noisy.

Nice people and good location, clean. But very noisy room, the inroom furnace makes a lot of noise and outside by the window/wall is noisy equipment, I assume kitchen exhaust, which was only turned off 1.30am.
