★★★★★ 5.0 Jaime Maron · Feb 2026

This hotel is amazing and so unique. I loved everything about my stay! The beds are comfy, the rooms are huge, the free breakfast was great with a lot of variety, and the location is a perfect walk to most places in the city! The only downside I found was that our window looked directly into another room, but no biggie, close the curtains! I will definitely stay here again! Way better than chain hotels.

We had a great stay for a quick couples getaway. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The staff helped to make our stay enjoyable and Mary took care of setting up dinner and other activities for us, which was much appreciated. It's walking distance to the farmers market and local breweries and other restaurants, which we enjoyed. I can't understate the service from the entire staff, they really care about their customers. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice big spacious room with a great sized bathroom. Room was mostly clean only noticed a little dust on the minibar snacks which makes me think they might not be the freshest. There could also be a few outlets near the beds so you don't have to pull out the end tables. The overall decor and vibe of this place is amazing. The bar is great and the drinks are responsibly priced for a hotel.

Stayed here when we were in town. Partner got the king suite with the whirlpool tub which was lovely except the whirlpool tub did not work. Bath was still nice, bed was very comfortable and the throw faux fur blanket was super soft. Some minor imperfections in the room with paint or scuffed furniture but overall it was nice. Only like 2 blocks or so from the sculpture park which was wonderful to walk through. Also walked to a lovely place for dinner and walked around downtown exploring.

★★★★★ 5.0 brittany miller · Dec 2025

Everything about our experience was amazing! We were celebrating our anniversary and Mary at the front desk made sure our entire stay was special - champagne, a tour of Presidential suite (my hubby & I really wanted to see it and she made it happen!), dinner recommendations and was just the most attentive/kind person. Our room was a corner suite with the best views, furniture and decor. Sherry at the bar was so sweet and kept our drinks and fun times rolling! We took so many fun pics in the lobby, just an overall really cool place to stay.
