We had a great stay. Check in was easy and the staff were all very nice. Breakfast was also really great. The hotel is also centrally located, so it’s easy to get around. The only note on the location is that you’ve gotta compete for public parking. But we went on Memorial Day weekend and were pretty much fine in locating parking. Would stay again!

We have been staying in SoHa for over 20 years and Hotel Nichols was our first place and now again a recent stay. We went back for the charm and central location. The newer owners have improved the property with new furnishings and the outdoor courtyard. They also provide an extensive made-to-order breakfast every morning. The innkeeper and staff were welcoming and service oriented. A great experience!!
