Loved the hotel. Couldn’t be more convenient to walk around the area. The staff were so nice. They all were happy to be staff members and it showed. We only ate at the hotel. The food was great. They were on point to make sure I was able to eat the food since I have many food allergies. The whipped ricotta was fabulous!!! We parked in their free parking lot when we checked in and never moved the car until we checked out 3 days later. We walked everywhere. We would definitely stay at the Hawthorne Hotel again!! Thank you Hawthorne for a wonderful stay!

I’ve stayed here before a number of times and it’s been a hit! This time, it was a miss. The room (an economy room - I would not choose again) was small, bubbled wallpaper, and not very clean when we asked for an upgrade (willing to pay for it) I was told because we booked through Expedia it was not possible. I kind of felt they didn’t like Expedia booking so didn’t want to make the effort. So we stayed in a very marginal room but.. enjoyed great drinks and staff at the Tavern. Long story bearable., get the better room .. they will not accommodate upgrades. Still a great location.
