Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The building was beautiful and the staff was amazing. My literal only complaint is that I wish there was a dresser or second place to get ready. If my girlfriend had the desk to do her makeup I didn't have anywhere to sit and get ready in a similar matter. It's a super small complaint, we really adored the place.

I liked how all doors needed a code to enter. There was a small parking area in the back, but plenty of parking on the street in front of the hotel. I loved the theme and how it brought classic to modern.

Good for one night

The room is very, very small and we got the largest one they had. Zero view because there is a fence in front of the window. No safe or water in the room. There is a public water jug and microwave in the hall. However, it is well decorated, clean and close to the bishops art district. Need to have transportation, though, because the area is not safe. Also, stay in an upstairs room because you can hear everything if you are in a first floor room.

The hotel is small, quiet and in a great location, with easy access to downtown by streetcar and walking distance to the Bishop Arts District. The staff were exceptionally helpful and responsive. My only complaint is that the room needed better lighting for reading in bed or working at the desk.
