Beautiful, Convenient but can't block out the sun
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel in an historic building at Canal Park. Shops and the Aerial Bridge are just outside the door. Free parking available across the street. We had a 2 BR/2B room with plenty of space. The only drawbacks of the suite we had are 1. there was no way to close the curtains and sunrise woke us up early. 2. If you want to watch TV in the livingroom, the layout doesn't work as the sofa is perpendicular to the TV. If we had kids along, we'd have to rotate the furniture . There is a mini kitchen we didn't use this trip but would be great for a family trying to avoid eating out all the time.

Stay Away
Pros:

Our room was awful. One of the worst rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Everything about it is poor quality, run down, and has no character.

Meh
Pros:

I like the unique rooms/spaces. Breakfast and breakfast area. We had an internal room which meant no windows. The price should be lower for these rooms, it feels very cave like without a window. I like the full kitchen.

Cons:

We were asked/advised/told/it never was brought up that their parking lot was across the street and we ended paying for our parking. We had parked in the lot behind the building. Nothing was done even after I complained about this. I thought that was poor service.

The price was very high for less than desired amenities and room. Also, having to walk across the street from the parkin
Pros:

It was located in Canal Park

Cons:

There were stairs from the main street up to the lobby and main floor of the hotel. This made it so that luggage carts could not be loaded from the street and taken directly to the elevator. All of our luggage and belongings had to be carried up the stairs to the cart on the lobby level. This is not so good for seniors.

Meh. If the issues are fixed we’d stay again.
Pros:

It was clean and a beautiful facility

Cons:

The pool had serious chlorine issues. We had coughing & vomiting from the high levels our first night. The kids ended up with UTIs as well. Despite our room thermostat being set to 67 the room never got below 74 (after 4 days 3 nights). The room had zero sound barriers and thus sleep was hard to come by. The room also smelled strongly like chlorine the whole time. The continental breakfast was a joke. So small and nothing looked fresh or appealing. Cherry on top, the ice machines were broken.

Great place in the hart of the park
Pros:

I found the room and everything very interesting. It was clean well kept just very nice.

Cons:

I was just hoping to find a hot tub in the room, and this one was great! Plus, it was super close to Canal Park. The staff were so nice, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. There were food and drinks everywhere. Sadly, the social will be closing soon, but across the street is definitely the best ice cream shop ever.
