This is a beautifully repurposed building that makes a quiet, spacious hotel. The property is very clean and we like the vinyl record players we even brought our own records this time. My wife liked the beautiful landscaping and I like the fact that it’s attached to an outstanding barbecue restaurant! lol!

My only complaint (and it’s a very minor one) is I wish the hotel had an onsite fitness center for guests. Apparently, guests’ only option is the local YMCA or another offsite fitness place (neither one of which is particularly walkable and for which, I assume, guests have to pay a fee).

The staff and property were really excellent. A very vintage curated feel in the room and friendly courteous staff that just genuinely wanted to help you. Incredible touches like the key card looking like a cassette tape and good barbecue on site. The main drag of Bristol is right there within walking distance, right outside the door really. We took in a play at the local theater as well as a few different restaurant stops around there and had a great time.
