Disliked: Staff & service

Business stay. Will probably not return.

Prior to stay, multiple emails and phone calls to hotel, for confirmation of check-in procedures, and a late-check-out request, went unanswered until last-minute. All calls currently go to an off-site phone bank, not the front desk, and they do not have access to reservation information, so they cannot help. Check-in at the hotel desk took one (1) hour to get into room. There were Keurig cups in the room, but the one machine was located in the lobby, and there was a sign asking to not use the Keurig and the microwave at the same time. (These are observations from my boss, whom I booked on behalf of.)

Charming room, pleasant stay, a few drawbacks...

I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful, comfy, and spacious my (standard king) room was. It was on par with a nice B&B. I almost felt spoiled. It was also very quiet (at least between 2am and 10am). But there are a few things to keep in mind before you book: There is no one at the desk on evenings or weekends. Check-in is done on your phone and the electronic key is given to you through an app. I'm not super quick with things like this, which resulted in me spending several minutes standing on the porch at 2am. The other concern is parking. I arrived late and paid through SpotHero to park next to the Greek Orthodox church one block away. The next morning, churchgoers had parked me in, and I had to hire a Lyft to get to my event. There are other parking options available. Just do your research in advance. Some don't have in/out privileges, and one required that I pick up my car before 6am the following morning! One thing the Hotel could do to help would be to provide more parking info, including street parking restrictions. The only other mild annoyance was that the room could have been cleaner (specifically carpet and mini-fridge), and some light bulbs were missing from some lamps. But overall I was happy and would stay here again.

The system to open the door didn't work. Same to access to our room. Using a key locker with many keys to access to multiple rooms is unsecured. The Heater is very loud, and we were unable to stop it, so we didn't sleep much.
