Categories

Cleanliness
9.7
Generally reported as clean in multiple reviews, though one guest reported stained couch/bed sheets and food on linens; overall cleanliness is strong but with an isolated cleanliness issue.
Service
10
Front-desk staff (notably Mary Elizabeth) received repeated praise for welcoming, personable and helpful service; however one guest reported poor responsiveness from management and an unprocessed promised refund.
Location
9.4
Standard quality for this hotel tier (location not specifically discussed in reviews).
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms described as very large and apartment-like and in some cases clean, but there were notable issues: misrepresented bed configurations (daybed vs advertised twin beds), hard/uncomfortable beds, and missing TVs in bedrooms for some guests.
Amenities
9.8
Good amenities for suite-style stays (full kitchen, dining area, large space) but rooftop access is frequently closed and the property has no pool; overall positive but with some amenity availability drawbacks.
Value for Money
8.3
Many guests enjoyed the unique, spacious accommodations, but one guest felt the premium holiday rate was not justified due to misleading room description and lack of promised follow-up/refund, and unexpected self-checkout tasks impacted perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9.4
Standard quality for this hotel tier (food & beverage not mentioned in reviews).
Overall Experience
10
Majority of reviews describe a very positive, unique stay with welcoming staff and large, apartment-like suites; however, there is a serious outlier complaint about misleading room descriptions and unresolved refund/customer-service issues that affected that guest's experience.

Perfect family suite
Pros:

This hotel is in a good location, very clean, friendly helpful staff, updated everything, and they have so many helpful things in the room for you. There were pots, pans, plates, cups, a dishwasher, even a washer and dryer in the room we got. I absolutely loved the fact that there is a coffee and pastry shop right downstairs in the same building. It made my morning that much better.

Cons:

Limited parking, but we were able to find one without an issue.

BUYER BEWARE!!!
Pros:

I was very disappointed with my recent stay. While the property itself is unique—a beautifully restored former bank with updated fixtures, a full kitchen, and a dining area for four—the accommodations were not as advertised.

The hotel description stated that the suite included **two queen beds, two twin beds, and a sofa bed**. Based on that description, I booked the room because it needed to comfortably accommodate my family, including a disabled senior and three other adults nearly six feet tall.

When we arrived, we discovered the room actually had **two queen beds and a very small daybed with a thin twin mattress that pulls out and sits directly on the floor**—not two standard twin beds as advertised. This was completely different from what was represented online.

I immediately contacted the front desk because I believed there had been a mistake with our reservation. Instead of offering a suitable solution, I was told management might be able to provide an air mattress. After paying a premium holiday rate, I found that suggestion unacceptable. I did not pay to have members of my family sleep on an air mattress or on a mattress placed on the floor.

I was then told that if I wanted to leave, they would consider refunding my stay. Unfortunately, this occurred during a holiday weekend, and there were virtually no comparable hotel rooms available. Waiting several days for a refund while trying to find another place for my family simply was not a realistic option, so we had no choice but to stay.

I requested a partial refund because the room was clearly misrepresented. After several conversations, I was informed at checkout on **July 5, 2026**, that management had approved a **$230 refund** for the inconvenience and misleading room description. I was told it would appear on my card within a few days.

Unfortunately, that refund has never been processed.

Since checking out, I have called multiple times requesting to speak with management. My calls have not been returned, and I have received neither the promised refund nor any follow-up. That level of customer service is simply unacceptable.

There were also a few unexpected checkout requirements that should be disclosed more clearly. Guests are expected to **start the dishwasher, remove their own trash, and take it to the dumpster before leaving.** While these tasks may not bother everyone, they were surprising considering the price of the stay.

The hotel does not have a swimming pool, but I was aware of that before booking and had no issue with it.

My primary concern is the **misleading room description** and the failure to honor the promised resolution. If your family needs legitimate sleeping accommodations for adults, or if you're booking this suite because you believe it includes **two queen beds and two actual twin beds**, I would strongly encourage you to verify the room configuration before reserving—or consider staying elsewhere.

Accurate advertising and responsive customer service matter. Unfortunately, this hotel fell short on both.
