Everything was amazing except for the actual sleeping. I was on the first floor, and the back door clanging open and shut every few minutes until past midnight by restaurant staff was extremely loud. I would definitely stay here again but would request a different floor.

Air conditioning was excellent and we had breakfast at the Perk around the corner; It was a sweet little place to sit and visit. The breakfast food at the Perk was good but maybe just a tad spicy for us.

Clean room, (not spotless but very clean). Comfortable bed. Quaint decor and very open rooms. Main door lock is impossible to latch but we managed with a travel lock. Staff was friendly. Shower pressure was outstanding! Nice coffee machine. The shampoo, conditioner and other toiletries were very nice although the mouthwash and lotion were old. Overall a good stay.

Absolutely loved our stay! The hotel is incredibly swanky—the perfect luxurious escape. Beyond the gorgeous decor, the staff were wonderful and genuinely friendly, making our time here truly enjoyable. Highly recommend!
