Beautiful property and very clean, two great staff members and the rest were pretty lazy/unprofessional. This included having hang out sessions in the lobby while drinking all of the guest coffee in the morning (both mornings we stayed) and just staring at guests pour hot cups of nothingness.

Stayed with my son. Originally had a queen room. Found some nasal discharge on the bed. The AC made a horrible continuous noise. We stayed in this room until my son saw a bug jumping on his phone and then we’ve got moved to another queen room. That room the AC was even louder. Started on the sixth floor went to the fourth floor and then they upgraded us to a king room on the third floor. In the original room there was tons of noise from music. We thought it was someone below us. It turns out when we moved to the third floor that there is a club next-door or across the street and that music played till 2:15 in the morning. Tons of motorcycles revving their engine Lots of loud bass coming from someone’s car that rattled the windows on the third floor. The first queen bedroom had no decorative pillows and the bed was so worn it needs to be thrown out. The shower curtain in the queen room touches you even for someone 120 lbs. so a very small space. And there are no AC vents in the bathroom so it stayed hot. In the king room it was much nicer. However we were lower down to the parking lot and the music kept me up until about 3:30 in the morning alongside with the motorcycles and this was a Sunday night, so I’m guessing it’s not a dry town. The water does not get super hot in the queen room, but in the king room it was too hot. Overall, I would never stay here again. I like boutique hotels, and the building was very nice. It’s an old bank, but you stay at a hotel to sleep!!!!!!

Great place, noisy area.
Love this hotel but there is a bar right beside it that is extremely loud on Friday and Saturday nights until 1-2am. If a good night’s sleep is needed, may want to look elsewhere. The service, quality, food, and decor are fantastic though!

The hotel is beautiful and service excellent but there was an outdoor concert a block away and street noise well into the night that made sleeping impossible.

We ended up staying here after our connecting flight got cancelled but this hotel really brought the good out of a bad situation. Amazing staff, great restaurant on site, super comfy beds, and nice area to work remotely. It felt more like a fun detour. Not far from the airport and fairly priced, very updated rooms.
