I have stayed at this charming and historic property before, which is why I returned. Sadly, I probably will not come back. The staff is always helpful and friendly, but our room was musty and smelled like bleach. The walls looked like they had not been wiped down properly. They need to air the room somehow and at least wipe down all of the moisture from the walls. The last time I stayed here it was clean and fresh. Maybe it was that particular room, but the nightly rate was not cheap and we could have had a different experience for much less.

Very beautiful and unique hotel, but most notable was the very friendly staff especially Amanda, she made sure we had everything we needed at all times, showed us where everything was and made sure to ask if we needed anything every time she saw us in the lobby. I cannot thank Amanda enough for making our stay comfortable and memorable. The Hotel was everything we had hoped for. I would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff. Beautiful art. Great location.
We stayed in this hotel for one night. This was our second time because we liked a lot our first stay. I would highlight 3 things about this hotel: 1) Friendly and helpful staff (Amanda and others). They went above and beyond to make us happy from making coffee, carrying luggages, opening parking doors, and most importantly having a pleasant conversation. 2) Beautiful art throughout the building. 3) Great location, walking distance to Japan Town and Fillmore shops and restaurants.
