Everything was just perfect.
Troy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean but very small. No dresser or great place to hang clothes. Heat/AC was very noisy. Hotel itself was a cool building. The parking lot was dark at night and being downtown was concerning.
Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Always enjoy staying her and staff is always great.
michael, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Definitely not as nice as advertised. The building was as wide as two cars put together. The elevator was down so we had to walk the stairs which go up for days it seemed. As well as back down. The rooms were so small it fit a bed and two side tables with minimal room to walk around. Very dated older smell and the air unit was so loud I couldn’t sleep.

Nice hotel!
Pavel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This historical landmark is truly a treasure. As a history enthusiast, I appreciated that the hotel used to be a bank. It has a delightful charm and distinctiveness. The restaurant was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I look forward to my next stay!

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and the hotel room was very nice and cozy. Parking was easy and we didn’t have to worry about our car. Everything is close maybe a 8-10 min drive but all and all love the hotel. We’ll definitely be back

10/10 Exceptional

The building is from the beginning of the century and use to be a bank and lawyer offices, they preserved a lot of the original building, but have new and modern rooms. It was a fantastic stay.
Laerte, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel with no knowledge of the area. Though it was about 25 mins away from where I was going, the hotel was beautiful,clean and unique (the building was formerly a bank). I would definitely stay here again, everyone was nice and welcoming.

This is a great hotel- adorable and great location. . I was a little disappointed that my room didn’t get cleaned or wet towels removed when I asked for new towels. Over I would recommend this hotel.

No sleeping here

The hotel is beautiful and service excellent but there was an outdoor concert a block away and street noise well into the night that made sleeping impossible.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Vintage, cute, but small

They've done a beautiful job renovating this hotel, as it is historic. However, one elevator was not the best idea. I appreciate that it is historic and loved the location, but gosh the rooms are tiny and hanging my clothes in the coffee caddy wasn't exactly ideal. Bed was very comfortable and at least there was no noise from the nightclub next door.
