The Blind Tiger was one of the best accommodations I've ever stayed in! The location was perfect – far enough away from the "bustle" of downtown but close enough to walk to many spots (Smalls was a favorite!). The daily breakfast was so great and the room, my goodness! Adorable, perfect, comfortable... best sleep of my life! Maggie was so helpful and accommodating and made our stay really special. All in all, highly recommend!

Wish they had a liquor license and could do a cocktail hour in addition to a breakfast service. Wish they had just a tad more breakfast options. Really wish they had a key pad and front door access! LOVED the fire places in every room. Property manager was lovely and friendly. Loved the snacks available and variety.

We are sad to have only spent one night at Blind Tiger ahead of our trip back to Ohio the following day. The hotel, quite literally, took my breathe away. It was gorgeous, and immaculately curated. The staff was fantastic and had great recommendations for how to spend our one day in the city. It was quiet, clean, and in an area of the city that was more residential (so good for us!). We cannot wait to come back.
