We loved The Sparrow. Great location and comfortable room. Our only complaint is the "perfume" used in the hotel was very strong and made us both stuffy. I would ask that you dial back the scent. It is not needed and takes away from a great space.

We stayed in the room that overlooked the alley on a Sunday night. The room smelled bad and the trash truck came to dump all alley dumpsters Monday morning at 5 am and stayed for 1 hour. Sunday evening only 1 attendant and the wait time to check in was long. I gave 2 stars. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice and clean.

This hotel is very ' boutique '. They have great amenities - love the shampoo/ conditioner and body wash! Feels luxurious. The decor super cool, a little trendy/ funky. ( Which I LOVED!) Parking was a little disorganized but still worth it and the $14. The area is awesome! There are a lot of great dining options. We felt so safe as we walked around at 10:30pm. We enjoyed our stay and absolutely will stay again!

great place to stay with a family and pet. Note there is a few stairs that you have to climb to get to the elevator. If you need accessible room ask for first floor.
