Great loft!
The Harding is an amazing loft! Very large, well equipped with amenities, and bed is wonderful! These lofts beat any area hotel options hands down.

Wonderful spot in Marion
The lofts are so close to everything downtown Marion has to offer. They are clean, well styled, have everything you need and very comfortable beds! I’ve stayed here twice and have enjoyed each stay. Thank you!

Stay at The Harding
My stay at the Harding was excellent! It was spacious, clean, and cozy. Instructions for check in were very clear, though I did have a little difficulty finding the building. Other than that, I had a very pleasant stay!

Recent Stay
Overall, my recent stay was great. The apartment was very clean, well furnished, and met all my needs. The only area for improvement was the smell. There was a very strong cleaning or air freshener scent that was masking another smell (maybe smoke or pets). This will not prevent me from future stays but it's worth noting as it was strong enough that my wife could smell it as soon as I opened my suitcase when I returned home!!
Property is spotless. Parking is easy, and theres pleanry of nearby restaurants and bars.The issue i had was that i could hear everyone in the hallway due to the door not being set to the ground. I could fit my whole hand underneath. I didnt care for that at all

Consistency for Work Trips
I've recently been making more frequent trips to Marion for work purposes and have been staying at The Harding @The Archive Lofts. It's always nice to have consistency and quality when traveling and The Harding has been that for me. Courtney has been very responsive in communication and the space checks all the boxes for me.
