Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room, although beautifully decorated and comfortable, felt a lot smaller than expected. The service was excellent and friendly, with a professional touch that freshened up my room. The location was excellent for attending the Southern Theatre event, but there were some cleanliness issues in certain areas. The dining was average, with slightly disappointing options. Despite some downsides, the hotel offers value for money and a satisfactory stay.
My stay at the hotel was just right for my business trip. The rooms were nice and clean, providing a quiet and comfortable space. The service was exceptional with staff being professional, kind, and always attentive to my needs. The location was convenient for my meetings downtown and offered easy access to various eateries and bars. However, the dining experience was average, with limited breakfast options. Overall, it was a suitable choice for a business traveler.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms definitely need serious updating and were not as described, which was disappointing. Additionally, the prices for simple amenities like breakfast seemed outrageous to me. However, the service was consistently friendly and helpful, though I wish they had more offerings like a shuttle service. The location was great for my evening plans but had some cleanliness issues. The dining experience was good overall. The facilities could use some improvements.
The rooms were lovely with original stained glass windows and nifty architectural details, but the size was small and not as expected from the description. The breakfast was overpriced. The service was professional and kind, though there was an issue with the room reservation under someone else's account.
The hotel room was not as expected, missing amenities, and overpriced dining. However, the service was friendly and accommodating. The location was nice for specific events, but otherwise average.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and well-equipped, but unfortunately, they were a bit challenging to keep at a comfortable temperature. The location was excellent, situated in a quiet part of town but still close to vibrant restaurant options. The service was welcoming and professional, with staff going above and beyond. However, the uncomfortable beds were a notable downside that affected my overall comfort during the night.
