The staff makes this place the best!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They really go out of their way to make your stay great! Clean rooms, I love the stained glass on the windows and the modern yet vintage style of the building! Would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous simple room in a beautiful renovated building. Escritoire clean, comfortable bed, block out blinds, hot shower, nice bar fridge and toiletries. Staff were exceptional - so friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was lovely - cereal, pastries, cold cuts sitting by the fireplace. Cocktails were available during happy hour in the evening.
