Our room was on the 4th floor. Windows could open. One storm window was missing. Unable to sleep much that night. People in bar spilling out onto street below until 2am. Because of the missing storm window, people talking and yelling sounded like right outside our window. Disappointed no one checked windows as a safety precaution. Window sill had substantial debris. Bathroom doors difficult to open /close. Does not function as bathroom doors are suppose to function (keeping noise in and out. Thermostat difficult to regulate. Could not adjust down or up. Food in Caroline’s Restaurant was good! Our food server, Alyssa R, was attentive, personable, offered suggestions and generally overall just took good care of us! She was the highlight of our stay; which unfortunately was shortened by a day because when we asked to be moved, the front desk individual informed us the hotel completely full. So we chose to leave. Since our room was booked through Expedia, we needed to contact them to arrange the cancelation and subsequent refund to credit card. The desk individual helped us navigate the initial maize. I was able to speak directly to Expedia and resolved matter. However, I don’t believe we would stay here again and may not recommend to others.

Beautiful hotel, paper thin walls

The hotel is beautiful. The walls are paper thin. We asked for a room higher up and away from the elevator. Rooms start on floor 2. We were on floor 3 of 8 and got the room right next to the elevator, nice. There was a wedding that night so we could hear the bass from the music till 1AM, you could hear all the traffic from the street, everyone getting on and off the elevator, and the wonderful ice machine was also right outside our door. If your a light sleeper like I am, you won't get much sleep. As I said in the beginning, the hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are beautiful. The staff is very friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Easy check-in, room was clean but overall room was outdated. Our problem began at our hotel room- arrived at our room with a large pile of dirty towels and multiple bags of trash in the hall across from our room. We let staff know immediately of the hall clutter and were told they would send someone up immediately. Two and half hours later— dirty towels and trash still there— this is now 6:30pm. We stopped by the front desk and asked again that the hall be cleaned before we return from dinner. Return around 8:30pm and most of the garbage and towels were picked up but some dirty towels remained in the hall. We asked the front desk to call the room next to us to ask them to not leave the dirty towels in the hall. Not sure, why we we’re managing their guests??

Fancy feeling but dated.

Fancy feeling but dated. It's a historic hotel, so that's expected and doesn't take away from the charm, or better yet, gives it more charm. It was clean and had good views. Didn't hear any nieghbors at all but did hear the highway and train from time to time. Having a pool and hot tub was a bonus. We could walk everywhere we had planned, including dining, the river muesum, and the fenelon place elevator. Everywhere we walked was like a mural walk with amazing murals all over the area. The only con was we missed having a microwave. But, there are loads of restaurants in the area, including in the hotel itself. Barrell house restaurant across the street was our favorite.
