A very unique hotel. Very Scandinavian vibe. Staff were excellent. Restaurant had good food. The only drawback was that we had to park about 1/2 block away so it’s not really convenient for those that have luggage. Regardless, we would stay here again. The room was spacious!

10/10 incredible stay!!!

We had an incredible stay at The Walper! The staff were welcoming and accommodating as soon as we walked in the door. We were greeted by Juliet who was very knowledgeable and friendly helping us with parking, our room and even our dinner at the on site restaurant. It wasn’t just Juliet but EVERYONE on staff that were so kind even in the restaurant. We especially liked the text service, we needed wine glasses to our room and wanted late checkout and we were immediately answered and serviced through text. A lot of the reviews were complaining about parking however Juliet directed us to across the street where it was covered and free to park overnight (parking into Sunday). Overall we really enjoyed our experience, the room, the atmosphere the restaurant and the staff make us want to come back 10 more times. Thank you!

The hotel was really good. Good lovation and friendly staff. The food at the restaurant was ok. My only complaint would be that they let my cousin up to my room without announcing her. That made me feel a bit unsafe. She did stay the night before but had checked out. I would stsy there again though
