    No towel bar or trash can next to the sink area. The very hard futon as a couch. The art in the hotel felt a bit juvenile, but not offensive.

    It was clean. We liked the retro minimalist vibe of the rooms, spacious king suite, comfy bed and 3 sided view. The Lakely restaurant craft cocktails and open mic night was a fun surprise. We also enjoyed listening to a couple of vinyl LP records in our room on the record player. Great location near the River Walk and Civic and Arts Center downtown.

    Really cute place with lots of local touches. Initially didn't care about the record player, but did check out some records and played them and found it really fun. Location was fantastic. Could walk all over to restaurants, nightlife, shows, shops and more. Really enjoyed the ease of getting around.

    Reasonably priced historic hotel in a beautiful downtown location.

    I would've loved a few more breakfast options included with the stay. There were items for purchase, but simple pastries or a grab-and-go would've been appreciated. I believe they had some oatmeal available, but that was it.

    The ambiance and comfort of the room and lobby area. The location downtown was exactly what we needed, and it's close to great restaurants, bars, and shops. The cleanliness was great. I also like the history of the building. My grandpa stayed there when he returned from France in 1957 and caught a ride on the bread truck back home. So cool to see history restored and kept alive.

    The breakfast was incredibly lame. I mean, on the one hand, they don't advertise it as having breakfast so I wasn't expecting anything at all. But the oatmeal wasn't really much. Better than nothing, I guess.

    Love the record players and albums. So fun. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Shower was nice. Loved having the restaurant and bar option on site.

    The "couch" in the rooms were very hard, and no TV in bed area.

    We honestly aren't sure why there's anything below a 4 star. It was the cutest hotel. Across the street is an amazing local store, with so many cool items. We arrived on a Friday evening and there was live jazz at their bar, which we sat, drank, and enjoyed!! It was a great stay.

    Suggestion…add hooks in the bathroom to dry more than one towel and hang up clothes. Just an idea.

    We stayed on the second floor and the music from the restaurant was very loud despite them having only a few patrons at the time. We did not mind hearing the live performers singing until 1000pm, but after that, there was loud music until after 3am. They do provide earplugs in the room, but honestly for $210 a night I would think the music could be turned down to a less intrusive level after midnight.

    Room was very spacious with very comfortable beds. It was fantastic to have a record player in the room as well as a refrigerator.

    The music in the morning was offensive in the lobby. The female singer used the word “b*tch* and other phrases of a sexual nature. It was playing on the sound system loudly. It ruined the peace of the morning.

    The room was a little small, and only had one chair, but was very clean and modern.
