    The hotel was original with great and unbeatable location just next door to far enough away to be quiet for sleep, the downtown area, and Classic Center. The staff were extremely friendly and excellent in the whole venue. Well-appointed and tastefully decorated rooms with a view of the fire station and great service - just as I expected. Loved my time here and 100% recommend this place.

    Although everything was perfect, some of the staff were poor.

    Nothing to complain about, the venue exceeded high expectations. Modern pet-friendly hotel with great value, we had a very good stay. There were a flat-screen TV with cable channels, climate control, and a refrigerator in the room, loved that.

    No negatives from this place.

    I loved the attention to detail the hotel has for reusing materials and for buying locally. The art work in my room was all locally screen printed framed in reclaimed wood.

    The check-in staff didn't tell me that if I put my room key card in the same pocket as my smart phone, the card would demagnetize. On the second day of my stay a member of the housekeeping staff let me know.

    First room assigned was not ready only one bed made up. Keys never worked on the first try had to return to desk. Items on menu not available such as Paromi teas. Confusion as to when the kitchen closed - called before 9:00 one night and was told kitchen was closed . This was corrected later. Other promised ajustments to room rate were not made as promised. Ended up having one bed instead of two had to change family plans.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was just as beautiful as depicted in the photos, and it was very spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax. The hotel facilities were great, especially the gym equipment, which was top-notch and exceeded our expectations. The location of the hotel was perfect, as it was close to some great restaurants and provided easy access to the nightlife in the area. We also enjoyed the secure parking with cameras in the lots, which gave us peace of mind during our stay.

    Not obvious to find. The view from our room , as it overlooked a less desirable area.
