Staff was great. Room clean. The lighting in the room was dim and access to electrical outlet very difficult. Room lacked basic items such as a phone and alarm clock. Very little room and hard to get out of bed without hitting the wall. It was a good value as it was located close to where I needed to be.

The hotel itself was good accommodations. Room was clean and well designed. Staff did not accurately communicate how parking worked with the designated lot creating some issues. Lot is isolated about a block away and accessible by a narrow alley.

I love a good unique stay which is what Ulysses was but it lacked some basic accommodations.. also the parking is super weird and it's crazy that they don't offer valet parking .. I also think it's weird that your not able to control the heat and or air individually in your room

This is my fourth time staying at Ulysses and everything was excellent as usual. The staff were super friendly (the check in lady even congratulated my husband and I on our recent marriage!), the room was clean and comfortable, and I felt taken care of throughout my stay. Can’t wait to come back again!
My Very Good pancakes with blackberries and blueberries-delicious!
