Overall stay was 9/10! The area around the property is a little sketchy as there is a liquor store a few doors down and questionable people standing outside. The hotel itself is really nice and the staff was very friendly.

Loved the decor. The staff was great. We had an event at the Civic Center and easy walk to there. There is a convenience store a couple doors down. Morning coffee was from a local coffee shop for a nice touch. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and it was excellent, especially the drinks! Two options for parking, one underground that are super convenient. Will stay here again.

The hotel is stunning! So much character. The tavern connected is delicious, as is the breakfast & coffee bar. We walked around the city (it’s close to so much!) but ended up spending most of our time at the hotel and tavern there. The staff at every turn was so friendly.
