EXCELLENT! This is my new favorite place in town. It’s an art deco style gorgeously appointed and thoughtful place. The rooms were stunning with massive bathrooms, the staff was beyond helpful, and the three houses that make up the property give it such charm. I wish I could vote this higher.

We had a wonderful stay! This hotel is such a special property. Our room was lovely and we really enjoyed the thoughtful design and style of the place. Being able to walk right across the street to the concert venue was amazing. Customer service was outstanding. Jake was especially helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! The breakfast was tasty too. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Rooms are quiet, well-designed, and beautifully decorated. It’s so unique! Appreciated that I could easily walk to shops and restaurants downtown. Staff were helpful and friendly. Only (negligible) downside was that they were unaware of the VIP benefits I was supposed to have received through my Expedia booking.

Don’t hesitate!

Can’t say enough good things. Jake and the rest of the team went above and beyond. Room was amazing, service was amazing, everything was amazing. We’ve been duped by well photographed “boutique” hotels in the past but this place is everything in the pictures and more. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re on the fence.

Fantastic Boutique Hotel

Absolutely wonderful! From the service, to the well thought out design, to the delicious breakfast, this place is a gem. The location is fantastic — a minute walk to The Orange Peel, nothing like being able to see a concert and not have to worry about fighting traffic, and the proximity to all the restaurant and shopping can’t be beat. Our room was well appointed and we barely heard any of the other guests, we slept soundly. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
