Place was super clean and really cool…vintage!! Only negative is when you get there you have to call the front desk to be buzzed in. Also parking is a little difficult unless you stay on the weekends and you can just park on the street.

Temporary unloading zone was occupied at night with bar patrons so we had to park in the middle of the road with hazards on. The parking garage is VERY tight but these are just things to look out for. Otherwise, the hotel experience was definitely 5-star!!

Our stay was wonderful. A little confusion on checking in. We thought there would be an attendant, but with the phone number provided at the front desk, we quickly were speaking with the person in charge. Our keys were in a lock box, with information and coupons for breakfast. The room was extremely spacious including the bathroom, with a glorious shower. Location was perfect for downtown activities. Would definitely stay here again.
