Listed as boutique and a 4-star property, the walk from the parking garage to the hotel is unsafe and unclean. The lobby is slightly nicer than average and the rooms are clean. The bathroom was not a 4-star tier of clean, shower scum and dirty walls. Location is great, wouldnt book again.

We stayed here at the beginning of the Fringe Festival. It wasn’t very busy at all but the cars that roared up the street & revved their engines until midnight was loud and distruptive. Other guests arrived into their room through the emergency stairs at 3:30am and socialized until 5am didn’t allow for sleep. We will not stay here again.

This place was fine but the front desk staff particularly were rude, and just straight out mean to be honestly. They knew how to make us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome that’s for sure. The restaurant staff though, is a whole different story. They were so nice and so kind and very accommodating. The housekeepers were also very rude. They would use their keys to barge into my room without knocking or stating house keeping is coming in. Very uncomfortable.

Stayed for 2 nights, and it was adequate. Pros- good wifi, quiet room, good air conditioning, and close to restaurants and shops, price was decent Cons- bed was awful. Very old soft bed, sheets were average and the pillows were terrible. Very lumpy. The bathroom could have been cleaner, and I left for the entire day, and got back to the room at 3:30, and housekeeping still hadn’t attended to the room. Towels were definitely on their last legs. I would stay here again in a pinch, but it’s definitely not a 4 star hotel. Maybe a low 3
