Fresh Trendy Hotel in the Center of Town
Pros:

Great location and nicely appointed rooms with a quiet heating system. Rooms were fresh and seemed recently updated. Service was excellent. There is a nice, small bar onsite and they also offer a continental breakfast with tasty baked goods. Beware of the TV system, it is not easy to navigate; just ask for help. Free parking was avaialbe.

Pros:

Exceptional staff. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Location was great. Customized room key codes.

Cons:

Some of the fixtures in the bathroom needed some upkeep. Ventilation in bathroom was poor, and everything fogged up as soon as the shower started. Mattress was too soft for my liking.

Pros:

I was never able to access the property. I never received the code to access after 10 pm. No one answer the phone. We had to find another hotel at 11 pm and everything was full. Terrible experience.

Take your own pillows, the pillows were uncomfortable. Everything else about the stay was nice. Loved the garden area and Peeples bar located on the premises.

Pros:

Very nice, centrally-located historic hotel. Very friendly staff and nice ambiance. The only downside for us was that they were hosting a business event the day we arrived that essentially took over the bar and common areas leaving no space for staying guests and a long line at the bar so we went in search of someplace else to relax and grab a drink after a long drive.

Horrible. Please keep others from this.
Pros:

Not much.

Cons:

1. No check in/front desk. Have to fight your way to bartender at bar to check in. 2. Bar is in middle of 1st floor hallway, so full of noisy people drinking. 3. My room was on first floor and could hear all the chatter outside of my door till about 10:30. 4. No one to ask for help as the only hotel staff was the bartender. 5. Thermostat in room not workable and LCD not visible. 6. Room was next to stairs up to 2nd floor and could hear everyone going up or down as well as footsteps of person in room above me on 2nd floor. Got little sleep for $400 per night and no one to ask for help. 7. Hotel clearly values bar revenue over guests. 9. Major rip off.
