The check in was problematic. The front desk was not gracious and bumbled through the process. Our room was considered a petite king. It was extremely small. There was little room to move freely about. With maybe 16-20 inches wide between the wall and the bed. It is not safe for the disabled or anyone who might be a fall risk. Please make sure to get a suite if you need space to move. There is virtually no closet space as the closet is full with a refrigerator and safe and there is less than maybe 8 inches of space to hang on the enclosed bar. There is no room for dresses, pants, suits or longer coats. It is a beautiful property but comes with disappointment in your room options.

As with most hotels on KACK they are very expensive and not nice enough to cost so much. This hotel is not different. The cost is about location. The hotel is made from bunch of very old houses, each one a maze on the inside with many staircases and tight hallways, and very small rooms. The bad is I booked through “hotels” and when I checked in they billed my card the cost of a night stay (200$ cheaper than what hotels charged) instead of incidentals. They this was a cryptic $460 charge on my card from “center street”. Took a while to get it squared away.

I stayed in a mini-queen in Hawthorne. Very easy to hear all goings on in the building. Of course this is an old building, so not surprising…but be prepared.

Not recommended

Front desk area was so small and crowded.There’s no lobby, no gym, or any other amenities. Room was small and the wall was paper thin. Room cleaning only came one day for the entire 3 night stay. The worst part was the alarm in the hallway went off in the middle of the night (3am) and we called the front desk immediately, but nobody came to fix it until the morning. It went on for hours and kept us up! All we got was an apology note with chocolate. It’s not worth the price and I won’t be returning.
