We would have enjoyed our stay more had our room been more quiet. The room was adjacent to another room with just a door. The neighbors were loud and annoying. It is not a good idea to put a senior couple in a room with a bunch of kids next door. Also not enough coffee and no complimentary water! I would want to stay overnight again.

I was so looking forward to staying in such a historic place. The lobby is beautiful. I got to my room and the musty smell was overwhelming and no matter how much I ran the AC it did not improve. By morning my eyes were wo itchy and red. The furniture and bed are in need of upgrades. The mattress sagged, bed was clean though. Bathroom floor was sticky and my shoes left footprints everywhere. No bottle of water in the room, which I would expect in a hotel room at that expense. Overall I was disappointed.

Lovely Hotel in the Heart of Town

First impression was lovely with an exquisite lobby. Loved having Caroline’s restaurant attached to the hotel. We were able to partake in a delicious brunch. Had we stayed longer we would’ve eaten there more. It seemed the ac wasn’t working properly in our room. We reported it to the front desk and they sent maintenance immediately and it was fixed in a matter of minutes. The room was very nice, and clean. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. There was great ambiance throughout the hotel. A great value for the money. We had a nice view of some of the cities 60 murals and the downtown strip. We were just there for 1 night otherwise we would have taken advantage of more of the wonderful amenities. We would most definitely stay here again.

Our room was on the 4th floor. Windows could open. One storm window was missing. Unable to sleep much that night. People in bar spilling out onto street below until 2am. Because of the missing storm window, people talking and yelling sounded like right outside our window. Disappointed no one checked windows as a safety precaution. Window sill had substantial debris. Bathroom doors difficult to open /close. Does not function as bathroom doors are suppose to function (keeping noise in and out. Thermostat difficult to regulate. Could not adjust down or up. Food in Caroline’s Restaurant was good! Our food server, Alyssa R, was attentive, personable, offered suggestions and generally overall just took good care of us! She was the highlight of our stay; which unfortunately was shortened by a day because when we asked to be moved, the front desk individual informed us the hotel completely full. So we chose to leave. Since our room was booked through Expedia, we needed to contact them to arrange the cancelation and subsequent refund to credit card. The desk individual helped us navigate the initial maize. I was able to speak directly to Expedia and resolved matter. However, I don’t believe we would stay here again and may not recommend to others.
