Did not realize that the bottled water in the room- which is not near the mini bar - nor does it have a sign near water, is $5.00 a bottle. Was just disppointed when recived the charge on account.

This boutique hotel is a combination of Art Deco with Mid-century Modern appointments in the room. It’s like walking into a hotel from the 1920 or 30s expecting a secret door to a speakeasy which actually exists right by the front desk. The room was comfortable with good linens and huge towels in a spacious bathroom. The only negative I could find was low water pressure in the shower, but everything else was exceptional. I will stay at this hotel from now on and enjoy watching the historic district as it is revitalized.
