We enjoyed being close to the Grand Casino Arena and our overall stay at the Celeste.
Pros:

We enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The staff was always kind.

Cons:

The bar was out of a variety of drinks so it was limited on selections.

Pros:

Location was excellent. Room was clean. Breakfast in the chapel was very good. Loved the new use for a beautiful building.

Cons:

Room in the lower level did not have a lot of natural light and needed more lights. It was hard to see at the second bed.

Super cute place a bit off the beaten path. If you hate cookie cutter, you'll love Celeste.
Pros:

The Celeste was a great location for me as I was visiting the Capitol. There were plentiful choices for public transit and Union Depot was an $8 or less Lyft ride. The second room I was moved to checked all the boxes for unique atmosphere and clever interior design. "Convent Charm" was woven throughout the heirloom building and the rooms, including great B&W photography of nuns having fun. This may be traumatic for some, but not me! The bar is always hopping, and the expansive, intimate seating just outside the bar space was incredibly calm and inviting.

Cons:

I was originally placed in a basement room and I would advise anyone thinking of booking to confirm that they will not be in the basement. The rooms are dark and the windows, which begin about 6-7 feet off the floor, let in the glare of street lights and the hum of the light rail, all while offering a nice view into the room from anyone walking on the sidewalk just outside. In fairness, en route I did reach out to the manager, who tried to change the room for me, but I missed his message. The desk moved me the next day and things improved radically.

Great location and wonderful views of the Capitol, good if it's just one or two nights.

It's a little tired, could do with some tlc, no cupboards or draws for clothes was a pain.
