The only thing I would change the toilet paper. This place is amazing and would've been 5 stars if the toilet paper wasn't what I used to wipe my butt with in the eighties at motel six. Come on you have a upscale Hotel and that kind of toilet paper. Also Free water.

Lovely and historic but no luggage rack in room

The lobby area and public areas of the hotel have been beautifully restored in this historic Frank Lloyd Wright hotel. Difficult to find a meal on Sunday since the hotel restaurant was closed on Sunday as were most places nearby. Fortunately the Thai Bistro was open 2 blocks away and was excellent. The room was generally comfortable but needs to have some simple amenities to make it more practical. There was no luggage rack making it difficult to retrieve items from luggage. I asked at the front desk and was told there were no luggage racks. Hotel should definitely place a luggage rack in each room. There was no counter space in the bathroom for placing personal items, a small shelf would be very helpful. Small inconveniences are sometimes necessary when staying in a lovely historic hotel.

There was a wad of hair in the corner of the shower! There was not much (not enough!) water pressure in shower, or to flush the toilet. There are not modern “

Clean hotel, except for the dirty carpet in the elevator. Try a darker shade that doesn't show the dirt.

This hotel had so much charm from it's historic roots. The bed was very comfortable. Staff was friendly. There were various "nooks and crannies" throughout the hotel that you could use for small or larger conversations. The gift shop had a good variety of Frank Lloyd Wright-themed merchandise.

Frank Lloyd Wright Hotel

This is a must see hotel for any fan of Frank LLoyd Wright. The tour of the Hotel and former Bank was very good.

Definitely a must for those who follow and admire Frank Lloyd Wright. However, I believe that even those who have no interest in him will love this fantastic boutique hotel

A beautiful restoration of a Frank Lloyd Wright building. It would be nice to enjoy a breakfast in the hotel. There is a restaurant on property. We walked 3 blocks for coffee.... very disappointing.

A must for fans of Frank Lloyd Wright!

What a unique experience to stay in a hotel designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! The room was lovely, but it was really the rest of the hotel that was exceptional. So glad we got the chance to do this!
