The hotel was very clean and quiet inside. However, we did hear the festival music outside of the hotel. Luckily, it was music we liked. The decor was reminiscent of the original building, but nicely updated. The room was a nice size. The staff was very helpful and answered many of our questions about the property and the local area. The room had a refrigerator and a coffeemaker. It had hand soap, but no bar soap. The Starbucks was convenient in the morning. However, the hotel doesn't have a restaurant. It has a lounge and a cocktail bar. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance. However, it is best to eat out or purchase food nearby. However, the room doesn't have a microwave oven. I The convenient downtown location makes up for the inconveniences. Finally, the hotel has valet parking, but the charge indicated does not include the tip or "convenience fee". I'm still not sure what that is for, but the overall trip was nice.

Every staff member that we encountered were friendly and helpful, from the front desk to the rooftop bar staff. Rooms and beds were clean and super comfortable. The location was convenient to Main Street shopping, dining and Saturday morning Soda City Market.

The hotel was charming, ask for a room on a higher floor if outside noise bothers you while sleeping. The Vault: Marrini Bar wasn’t open while we were there and that was a little disappointing. Overall I would stay again.

Love staying here. It’s on the same street as Soda City which is every Saturday. You can walk to restaurant's and shops. The rooftop bar is nice with great views. The rooms are nice and the beds are so comfortable.
