Nice but bathroom needs work

Hotel lobby is beautiful and well decorated. The location was nice as well. I was a little upset to see the condition of the bathtub. The entire room was remodeled except the tub and the doors. For $200 per night I would expect to see better quality. Overall, it was a nice stay. I don’t think I would stay here again but it was nice for a quick trip.

Overall hotel is not very clean, Noisy, room had stains on floor, bed was not comfortable at all. The tv would buffer the whole time when we did watch it. The hotel does a ghost room tour which happened to be on the floor we stayed on which clogs up the elevators and cause a-lot of noise in the hallway. I would pick a different place to stay the next time we come to town.

Spring break girls trip

Me and my child (10) wanted to do something fun for spring break, and the read house did not disappoint. The location was great and we just felt safe there. Our room (600) was clean and we had a good view of the city life.

This historical spot is perfect for a get away. We loved walking to surrounding spots and events. We also used the free transit for local stops. We loved eating at Alleia and Colliope. Great long weekend stay! Make sure to get John to tell you the story of room 311.
