I have stayed at this hotel many times. It’s been recently renovated and the rooms are nice. My only complaint is there was a front desk woman who was rude and combative with us checking in and checking out. The evening front desk staff were completely opposite- they were amazing. So this was probably a one off experience but in general we love staying here. It’s perfect for families.

Nice hotel in Canal Park

Great location in Canal Park, got great off peak season rate, interior room with window to hallway, warehouse partially converted to hotel, exceptionally clean, nicely redone, other businesses in building including bar on main level, within canal park for easy walking access to other establishments.

The hotel was quiet and clean. It is a bit dated and could use a refresh. But the bed was comfortable and the suite was huge. We also liked that it was walkable to shopping and dining. Would have been nice to have a view of the lake but the price was better because we didn't. The receptionist at the front desk was supper friendly and inviting! We enjoyed out stay and would stay again.

Needs some improvement for the price charged.

If the cost was not so high, I would have given a better rating. However for over 200$ for one night stay, I found the rooms to be less then expected. There is an odor one would expect when in a very old house or building. The sound proofing is also very poor, we could hear every noise outside our room. The refrigerator was rattling because of a loose panel inside. There also was no option on the TV for streaming services, just cable TV. On check out, there were 4 of us waiting at the desk for over 5 minutes with nobody present at the desk, and it was after 10 a.m. in the morning. While I normally don't complain about a hotel stay, when I pay that much for one nights stay, I definetly expect more. I would compare this stay to what I would expect at a Holiday Inn.
