One of my the best stays I’ve had! Love the modern look, front desk staff was amazing! Customer service was top notch! Rooms were cozy, beds were comfy with super soft sheets. The whole place smells amazing like a spa. We walked everywhere. Close to the center of everything on 8th street. 10/10 recommend The Sparrow.

If I didn't have to be rudely awakened due to the noise from the metal garbage bin during the wee hours of the morning accompanied by dumpster truck collecting garbage with loud bangs for over 30 minutes two nights in a row, I would have rated this property 5 star.
