We stayed in a double room with 2 queen beds for 2 nights on the third floor with lake view. The room had not been cleaned super well, you could see hairs and dust in the corners and on the floor. We had 2 large bath towels for 2 adults and 2 kids. The room was noisy as it was right next to a bigger street with lots of traffic during the day. The windows were not keeping the noise out. The pool was warm, which we loved and we had it to ourselves. As for the breakfast, we cannot recommend it. Coffee was watery, no milk, just cream. The scrambled eggs tasted very strange. Would not return to eat here. Thankfully, the hotel is close to other coffee shops and a few restaurants, so there are alternatives.

There was no soap or shampoo in our room when we woke up. No coffee left one morning. Took a long time to get food in the basement bar. Staff was very nice and apologetic about the wait.

It was an ok stay - nothing great but nothing bad. We were attending an event in the hotel so it was the convenience that was most important. It was clean but our room could have used a coat of fresh paint - lots of scuffs on the walls. We had a room overlooking one of the streets and it could get a bit noisy. There was no included breakfast and the restaurant in the hotel didn’t open until mid morning which was too late for us and a disappointment.

Can’t turn off AC

Can’t turn off the central air. Cold air blow directly to my forehead in the middle of night. The front deck idea is to use space heaters. Can you imagine the noise? Very uncomfortable night.

Motel 6 dressed up

It’s a motel 6 on steroids. Said they offered breakfast but it was a bagel and piece of fruit in a ziplock bag. Room was ok at best. We picked specifically for the pool so kids would have something to do. They closed it while we were there saying it was down for maintenance. And DO NOT COME AFTER HOURS! 20 minutes at the door ringing front desk to let us in. He came out sleeping looking as hell! Won’t stay again. The rate was crazy high for subpar accommodationsz

The Ariel Broadway Hotel is a jewel of a place, carefully renovated to bring modern conveniences into the luxury of an older, stylish hotel. Our room was a suite and boasted many amenities: small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, desk, several TVs, an upgraded bath room with walk-in shower, and nicely comfortable bed and sofa. The view was nice, though further back from the lake than I expected. The blackout curtains worked amazingly. There is a busy road just outside the hotel that did not disturb my sleep at all. The pool area was locked, but we did not ask the staff about it. They had a large restaurant/game room that looked like it could be very entertaining, too. (we were tired from our drive) There are a lot of closed businesses in the hotel and in the downtown section near the hotel. We did not feel unsafe, but rather sad. Hopefully that is because we visited off season! In our room, there was a lovely coffee table book regarding the national registry of retro hotels. I found our experience at the Ariel Broadway Hotel delightful and will be looking for more of these gems in the future.
