Historic property downtown. A lot of dining options all within four blocks. The staff was very friendly and informative. Gave some history on the hotel and also the surrounding area. They also provided a key fob to a gym just two blocks away. Breakfast was limited, but we don't normally rely on a hotel breakfast. The hotel bar had delightful craft cocktails! Overall the place is very well taken care of. We will stay again!

All the staff were great. Enjoyed upscale comfort in a one of a kind historic hotel. Max took the time to visit with us and give us a tour and Heather was helpful and cheerful every time we spoke. First rate place. Clean room. The in-room hot tub was clean and well-designed for a couple. Bar Winslow downstairs was a pleasant speakeasy kind of vibe with good cocktails and mocktails. We stayed on a Monday night. We will be returning.
