Clean room, nice staff, nice bar.

The property location is good. The property is very well decorated. Breakfast was very good with many choices. The bar was closed so no comment on that.

Clean and quiet, rooms were nice

The fact is my marriage needed a lift. Thank you. We had fun, because my husband is my best friend. We needed to see the beautiful art, architecture, and lighting in a downtown setting... we did a lot of walking. Thank you for giving us a space

Awesome staff, unique environment, great location

The only issue with the room was that there was shampoo or soap on the shower floor, when I stepped in. I slipped and almost fell. The room is very noisy Also, please get a better quality toilet paper.

This hotel is an experience! It has whimsical spaces to explore and enjoy your time. It feels like you entered an episode of The Reality Show “Traitors”! The hotel staff are friendly and very helpful. We will be back!

Nice property and great check-in and check-out staff. Used the valet and our car was outside when we left. Didn’t really use any of the amenities since we were only there 1 night but would definitely stay again.
