Great location, friendly staff & overall a super well maintained hotel.
There was nothing we disliked. We were very satisfied!
8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
I loved the eclectic decor. The front desk staff and bellhops were kind, knowledgeable and courteous. The valet parking was prompt and friendly whenever we were coming or going. The breakfast was delicious. The bed was comfortable and cozy.
It was close to the museum campus which included our 3 main destinations.
We went the the bar the first night, received menus and a water from the bartender and that was it. He proceeded to make drinks for others who came after us and never said another word to us. We ended up leaving and going to a bar/restaurant off-site.
The room didn't have a blow dryer.

Close to everything.
Made reservations for a city view and was placed with no view at all. Room faced another building.
