Wish parking was easier. I wish a free parking pass for a garage would have been nice. Also we didn’t receive a free breakfast. Didn’t know that was available. Otherwise beautiful and clean with a wonderful soaking pool.

Staff was rude. We completely felt like a burden. Pillows were so used we had to stack 3 on each other to get any kind of support. Menu in our room wasn't available until 10 days after our stay. Bartender at Hals acted as if us ordering was a chore. We used to love staying here. Unfortunately it seems as if staff has forgotten that the customers are what make their job possible. Bartenders at Als den were great, and the ONLY highlight of our trip. They should be training the rest of the staff.

Place was very clean and well appointed, but simple. Location is good, near bars, restaurants, and shops.... Also the Crystal Ballroom! Even so, our room was quiet. Soaking pool was lovely and very clean! Great urban getaway

Second time staying here. Amenable staff, great rooms, clean bathrooms, incredible salt-water hot tub (that's very large), and just an all-around awesome hotel. Highly recommend.

Romantic getaway, not family vacation

Breakfast not included, restaurant attached was slightly overpriced for the quality, not the quantity of food. Rooms and shared bath super clean.

Super fun, funky, unique hotel experience! The “soaking pool” was actually a hot tub (no jets) which was a fun surprise! The bed was very comfy and the staff was incredibly friendly. I had so much fun staying here with my friend. My ONLY complaint was that the walls are thin and windows don’t do much to block outdoor sound, all due to it being a historic building (honestly what else can you expect for the price?!). Parking is $26 overnight at the garage down the street, which is a steal compared to other cities. Free coffee in the morning is GOOD and I’m picky!!
