10/10 Exceptional

The staff was great
Jeffrey, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

great hotel with strong history vibe and post industrial style room interior . great location that closes to a lot of major destinations. But for the size and facing of the room(basically looking at the other back of building about 20’ of distance), I think it’s overpriced.
ChiYin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was great the room and facility were well done. We would have appreciated a second luggage rack in the room without asking for it and a second bedside lamp. Poor directions from the Monroe Street entrance to the front desk but we managed. The check-in desk clerk guy was VERY HELPFUL!!

Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

While the rooms are small, they have everything you need and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the shower as well. The dining in the lobby was great and service was good there. Finally the location is great if you want to be downtown by the park. There is a lot you can walk to from there.

Great Stay

With a great location and a knowledgeable and friendly staff this was an excellent three night stay. Hotel was clean and accommodating. I really couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend. The only thing I didn’t like was my shower had two shower heads and no door and the two rolled up towels that were placed at the bottom edge didn’t really cut it and my bathroom floor was very wet despite my best efforts.
View from my room.
