The room was nice and I loved the blackout windows. The staff is friendly. The vertex bar which advertised itself as open until midnight was closing at 10 so that was a disappointment. I purchased the $40 breakfast option and receive two $15 Starbucks gift cards so ended up losing money on that deal

This hotel is overall beautiful, but it is in need of some significant improvements. Torn/frayed carpets, stained and torn wallpaper, tubs that won't hold water, incredibly noisy heaters, paper-thin walls, and workers doing construction projects during the late afternoon while on speakerphone made this a noisy trip. Finally turned the tv on to drown out the noise....We used to love staying here but will likely find a differnt option moving forward.

There was no window in our room. The fan in the bathroom was so loud. Though the bathroom was nicely updated, there was no counter space in the bathroom. There was only one small mirror in the bathroom not a full length mirror to check your clothing.

Both front desk receptionists were ridiculous. The first was some dude trying to look like a woman, starring off into space while talking to me. The 2nd receptionist that I approached the next day completely ignored my existence until I tossed the key cards in front of her to check out. 1 elevator was out of service so it was either stairs or wait 15 to 20 minutes for the other elevator. The bed so lumpy and hard that I only slept 2 hours. Vallet was another freak show who didn't even speak. I expected a much better stay and was mainly let down by the class of the staff. Will never return to this hotel even if it's the only option in Rapid.

Charming Historic Hotel with a Major Setback! We stayed in a two-bedroom suite and were impressed with the cleanliness—comfortable beds with fresh sheets, and a spotless bathroom (no hair in the tub or on the floor). The pub downstairs served delicious food, which was a highlight of our stay. However, we went three full days without hot water, which was a major inconvenience. At checkout, the front desk offered a complimentary Starbucks coffee, but it didn’t quite make up for the disruption. A heads-up: snacks and drinks in the lobby are very overpriced, so plan ahead. While the hotel itself is beautiful and full of character, be sure to confirm basic amenities like hot water before booking.
