    What a delightful surprise, with many unusual amenities.

    Unavailability of breakfast was the only dip in an otherwise perfect stay. The fact that the hotel had a free, all-day coffee service was some compensation.

    The hotel serves breakfast only on weekends, so we walked down to the square to find a sit-down breakfast site. We didn't find a breakfast restaurant, but we did spend some quality time in Square Books.

    The slamming of doors by the guest, maybe there could be something put on door’s to reduce noise level, perhaps fix the doors where they can’t be slammed shut but instead would be a soft shutting. Plus, put door strips at bottom so noise level could be reduced.

    So much I loved - proximity to downtown, hotel parking was awesome, fantastic room service - it was excellent and quick. Very friendly staff❤️ beautifully decorated for Christmas. Oh, and the bed and the pillows were super comfortable. 😊

    They had Colgate brand toothpaste. I prefer charcoal.

    Beautiful outdoor spaces. Great staff. I love anywhere with sparkling water on tap. But the beds were exceptionally comfy and I say that as someone with a back that technically died in 2005.

    The air wasn't working properly one night we stayed, and it was very warm. Although they fixed it the next day, we would prefer for the staff to knock before just walking into our room. This caught us off guard and startled us. We were both working from the room at this time. The underground parking was a nightmare. For 25.00 a night to park... this needs to be monitored better. Large trucks were in compact spots and turning around is impossible. It says "tow away zone" but there is NO way a tow truck is maneuvering down there. There needs to be a drive through spot. It was a REAL problem, and it wasn't even packed. My car is not large, and we had trouble getting parked and avoiding other drivers and parked cars; people were irresponsible in parking and the parking garage is VERY tight.

    The smell was wonderful. It was clean and the staff was friendly at the desk. The location was PEREFECT!!

    Best Hotel EVER!!

    By far the best hotel I have ever stayed in. It definitely wins over luxury branded hotels. It was such a comfortable stay and the bathrooms with the tub and the HUGE shower was excellent. Only one thing I would change would be the window that you can close but it does not lock that’s in the bathroom and faces into the hotel room with the two queen beds. (The toilet was separate from the shower and tub with its own door which was a plus too!) It wasn’t an issue but I could see issues if someone was staying with some friends or a work trip. I just don’t believe the window should be located in queen bedrooms. Other than that I definitely will be back!!
