Overall a good place to stay

The location was perfect. The hotel was nice, but to get to our room we had to take an elevator part way to our room and then a door and stairs to get to the room. That meant leaving our luggage dolly at the top of the stairs and carrying our luggage down the stairs and into our room. Also, our door was nearly impossible to open and close during the whole stay. We will stay there again but hopefully ask for a better room.

Parking was an issue. Room was clean and looks to be newly renovated. But it was on the smaller side for a suite. The downtown location was nice but haveing No Parking was a real inconvenience. The location lacked amenities...no pool,no restaurant...the stay was automated...all done via email so we had no interaction with staff. The emails were timely and clear but the lack of staff interaction made it feel cold and unwelcomeing. In the end is was a small clean room in an older downtown building but marketed like a boutique hotel. It lacked the polish, service and warmth of a true boutique hotel experience. A small clean room should be the minimum expectation for any place...it is all the other details that make the stay special and unfortunately this place missed the mark.

The room was quite small and had a tiny shower. The location was GREAT ! We walked to dinner and breakfasf, as well as the Avon Theatre. The price was quite high, given the size of the room. The lobby area was not welcomimg next to a room full of haphazard chairs, altho these was a nice seating area for our friend to wait. Parking was good - for a fee (right next to the bldg), and the receptionist helped us with a luggage cart.

We stayed at the old wing and the rooms were tiny esp the bathroom. Service and staff were excellent. I would suggest that you renovate and combine two rooms together to make for a better sized-room and bathroom. I prefer to pay more for a better room esp on vacation. We checked out a day early because of the room. The hotel was fully booked so could not switch rooms.

Location is good but hotel under renovation so no dinner or breakfast options available. Some guests received a breakfast box but when we enquired the staff indicated it would not be available for us. The hotel has very limited parking & when we tried to book a spot we were told none were available. We had to park 8 minutes away. None of this was disclosed when we booked. The bathroom was extremely small & hadn’t been cleaned & the shower had rust stains & hair upon arrival. Service at the front desk was poor.

We give credit that they are trying to upgrade the property, but it's like putting lipstick on a pig. The room had be painted and flooring looked new. Downsides: weird & small bathroom - sink and toilet were practically in the shower. There were insufficient electrical outlets, as evidenced when we ran the coffee maker, kettle and TV at the same time: the electrical outlet shorted. There is no artwork in the room. The hallway smelled weird, and the room wasn't much better. It had an old motel AC unit that was very loud; with the current humid weather we didn't have an option not to run it. Our sleep was disturbed. The bed was soft and my partner re-aggravated a hip problem. It looks better on the website than it is. It's not worth what we paid.
