Relaxed and enjoyable visit!
Pros:

Very cool historic building, with nicely updated rooms blending nostalgia with comfortable modern touches.

Cons:

Difficult to get to because of road construction, but that will be temporary. Not the hotel’s fault.

A pleasant place to stay in a good location (once the construction is done). Suzanne was helpful in making sure we had a
Pros:

If it weren’t for the current construction, this was a great location within walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and things to do. The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

This wasn’t an issue because we were out late at a concert both nights, but it’s important to note that the rooms are directly beneath a duckpin bowling alley. It is quite audible during the day and evening, so just something to be aware of depending on your sleep plans.

Good place to stay for fountain square night
Pros:

Really retro vibe. And staff was helpful and communicative. But being close to the bowling alley was great. Would recommend to anyone

Cons:

Not their fault but construction in the area made it difficult to find a place to park. They gave instructions but if you arent familiar with the area its still hard to understand

Mildly concerned turns into pleasantly surprised
Pros:

Was curious when I had to retrieve my room key from the attendant at the bowling alley, once I got in the building, my worries were gone. The building is amazing, the rooms exceeded expectations, staff was the best, location couldn’t be beat. I don’t have enough good this to say about this place.

Cons:

If you are staying for the weekend especially, this place does have a mini bowling alley above it, so there is some noise in the afternoon evening time. This may have just been my room, but afternoon naps were not a thing.

Cool rooms with modern/retro feel but challenging to access and noisy.
Pros:

Loved the retro feel. Room was comfortable and very clean; spacious with great amenities. Free parking.

Cons:

Parking, while free, was challenging to find a space to park. Elevator situation is not good; very small and not easy to access due to the high volume of patrons and staff using it; lots of very long lines. Duck pin bowling was right above our room and very noisy. The access code to use the stairway door did not work.
