The hotel's location close to everything in a high traffic area was fantastic. We found Whole Foods and Georgia's Grocery just across the street, making it convenient for any necessities we needed. Plus, there were great shops and attractions within a mile radius. The hotel's cleanliness and facilities were top-notch. The room we stayed in was nice, clean, and had great smelling toiletries. We also loved the underground salt water pool, which we visited both days of our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable.

Nothing bad to say.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel in downtown. The location was perfect, close to everything and in the heart of the city. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was clean and well-maintained.

We loved the cozy and musical vibe of this hotel, with its charming decor and historical posters on the walls. The basement soaking pool was a perfect way to unwind after a long day, and we appreciated that it stayed open late at night. Being able to bring beer from the bar into the pool area was a cool bonus. The staff were friendly and the room was clean, with a comfortable bed and a lovely view. The location was ideal, right in the heart of downtown and close to shops and restaurants.

Nothing, everything was great.

We loved staying at this hotel! The staff was amazing and made us feel welcome from the moment we checked in. The check-in process was fun and unique, thanks to the friendly and humorous Brent. The hotel itself had a quirky and fun atmosphere, with interesting artwork and neat arrangements throughout. Our room was clean and comfortable, with beautiful paintings, a cozy bed, and convenient bathroom facilities. The restaurant at the hotel was terrific, and we enjoyed delicious meals during our stay.

Nothing to dislike.

We loved the convenient location of the hotel, as it was close to everything in the heart of downtown. It was within walking distance of the concert hall, shops, and restaurants. The hotel staff were fantastic and friendly, providing us with great recommendations. The hotel was clean and had excellent facilities, including a relaxing saltwater pool in the basement.

For us, it was ideal.
