Cool refurbished building with large, airy, comfortable room. Excellent bar/restaurant on first floor of building, great burger and beers place right across the street. There are other nice restaurants within a block, great coffee shop a few doors down. Parking was off site in a public garage a block away (seemed safe and cost $9 for the night). Near a nice riverside park for walking or biking. The price is a great value compared to the usual chain hotels. The street by the hotel is fairly busy/noisy. The area around the hotel has a fair amount of unhoused individuals, but did not feel unsafe.

Unique, fun boutique hotel

Interesting, unique property in historic building. High ceilings and comfortable furnishings. Nice fun touches like turndown service and music from local musicians playing on the room's stereo upon retuen in the evening. Helpful staff.

A Hidden Gem with Style and Personality This boutique hotel is truly a hidden gem—elegant, welcoming, and full of thoughtful touches that made my stay memorable. I’m so glad I found it. The hotel has a cozy, urban feel. I stayed on the second floor and could hear both the street noise and occasional footsteps from the room above—very reminiscent of NYC apartment living. If you're a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs. My room was directly above the Blarney Stone Bar, which could be an issue on a loud night, though luckily it was quiet during my stay. The room was beautifully appointed with one of the best-stocked mini bars I’ve seen. The Fiji water was a nice touch, and you can even order food from the pub downstairs for room service. Make sure you're familiar with central air systems; I’m used to window units, and mine kept switching to energy-saving mode during the night, which was a bit tricky to manage. Security is solid—the door has a deadbolt (though no latch), and the elevator requires a key card. I appreciated the added sense of safety. One of my favorite parts was the complimentary wine and cheese hour—a great chance to unwind and meet fellow guests. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout my stay, making everything feel personalized and high-end. This place fills up quickly, even midweek, so I’d suggest booking early. Overall, the hotel blends style, comfort, and charm with five-star service. I’d absolutely stay again.
