The hotel is in a perfect area to do all things Old Town related. The staff was wonderful. Rooms are a little small, but not bad. Our biggest problem was that the bathroom door was see thru and they had a huge mirror that angled directly from the bed into the bathroom door. Anyone using the bathroom was completely visible to anyone else in the room no matter where they were.

First stay
First stay in this hotel - very nice stay, beautiful decor and very clean! Loved the rooftop bar in the afternoon for drinks, went up later in the evening and the music was a little loud for our taste but everyone else seemed to enjoy

The hotel is beautiful. I plan to stay again next trip! The room is very small, but it was fine for one person. I did ask for my room to be serviced, but it was never done. The front desk staff, while very friendly, seemed to be a bit green.

Valet could not tell me where the garage was.
No hot water to shower.
Room smelled like burnt barbeque.

Very nice hotel in a good location. Be advised that there are no grab bars in the shower, which also has gloss tile flooring. And no nonbreakable beverage containers for the bathroom either. A couple safety hazards to be aware of.

Great Hospitality, nice room, only suggestion I would add a luggage rack to the room to put our suitcase.
Dining at the KILN restaurant was a wonderful experience, Chef Matt and his staff surprised us with a wonderful menu full of surprises and very creative food that made our palate tickles . Bravo ! 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥😋
