I got one of the renovated rooms with balcony and it was awesome! The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was also great on a street with some good restaurants. The only downside was that the renovation was ongoing so there was a bit of construction related noise & activities happening during the stay. But they were quite considerate so I wasn't really bothered by it.

Staff was very friendly. Valet parking was nice but had to wait for our car because valet was gone for awhile. Also link to valet was useless. Odor in lobby smelled moldy. Blankets and pillows could have been better. The noise from the street was loud and could hear the renovations. Noise didn’t go into the night too long. Valet and front desk staff was very friendly and coffee and water in lobby was nice.

The hotel is under renovation, but it doesn't seem to be a holistic approach. Some things are very modern and new-looking, while other things are literally falling apart and filthy. The room itself could be very impressive, but several of the new(ish) brass fixtures were installed incorrectly (towel bars upside down) or in odd locations (covering an electrical outlet, for instance). My room was spacious, quiet and clean, but once stepping into the common spaces, there was a stale odor and the carpet and other aspects weren't clean. There is little-to-no soundproofing of rooms, and the room doors slam shut noisily. The downstairs restaurant opened very briefly on Sunday, but nobody came and, after I came back from a 30-minute walk to the capitol, it was closed. Hopefully the renovation will address all these issues.

The location is great and the rooms are clean and nicely appointed. However there’s one space on the curb to pull over and check in, and that was occupied so we had to drive a block and a half away and lug our bags back to the hotel. The lobby is tiny as is the alcove where you check in. Two large disorganized parties ahead of us; nowhere to sit or really even get out of the way of their mountains of luggage. Our room was on the third floor. Major renovations going on and they were working on the 4th floor, so constant hammering and drilling. No mention of this when we made our reservation. According to the website the hotel restaurant serves breakfast but it was locked up tight in the morning. If we had known about the noisy construction going on, we would have booked elsewhere.

They warned about construction, but the drilling at 9 a.m. was ridiculous way too loud to relax. The room was dusty in spots and only had one robe even though it was booked for two. No housekeeping during my stay and had to ask for towels myself. For the price, the service and amenities just don’t match up. The place has charm, but it’s not worth it until renovations are done.

The downside is there is no restaurant in the facility. They rely on a restaurant leased separately. The result is no food available on Mondays at all and limited hours when they are open. Normal restaurant hours but not food service hours in a five star hotel
