Do not stay here! Even though we made our reservation in January, this hotel canceled the reservation one hour before we were supposed to check in. The hotel was in walkable distance to an event and there was no other hotel room within miles. We were left to find a hotel room miles away.

This hotel has a perfect location on the Canal Park. Rooms are very specious. We stayed in a newly renovated room. It was very clean, felt very fresh. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast to start your day. Our room had 2 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms. Unfortunately, neither bathroom had a hairdryer. Only one bathroom was stocked up with toiletries. Beautiful property, but walls and windows are not soundproof. We had a family with small kids in the room next to us, and we heard everything what was going on in their room. Hotel is located on the street with multiple bars and restaurants; the night life is pretty busy and it's loud. I had a hard time to fall asleep. When I finally did, I was woken up at 2:45 AM because someone was yelling. The point is: this is not the place where you can get a good night sleep. If this is important to you, you might consider a different accommodation.

We have stayed at this property many times. Check in was seamless and the front desk staff were excellent. My spouse and I were excited to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms. A few items however were missing. There was not a shower curtain and we discovered when we needed to contact the front desk to report a disturbance during quiet hours, there was not a cord attached to the in room phone. When we reported the disturbance the front desk did not initially acknowledge. When I called back I was treated with little empathy and concern. It was very difficult to enjoy our stay with the neighbors holding a verbal dispute in there room with their children running up and down the hallway screaming and knocking on doors. The morning breakfast was an enjoyable experience and yes we would stay again.

Nice hotel in Canal Park

Great location in Canal Park, got great off peak season rate, interior room with window to hallway, warehouse partially converted to hotel, exceptionally clean, nicely redone, other businesses in building including bar on main level, within canal park for easy walking access to other establishments.
