I liked that they checked our bags for us when we arrived too early to check in, so we could go explore the neighbourhood while we waited.

Room was nice but the A/C controls did not make the room cool enough. Also the water pressure dropped after a bit in the day. If the bathroom is small then the air exhaust should be provided. the whole place steamed up and could not see the mirror....suggestions for improvement!

This is an immaculate hotel- well appointed, looks brand new but with respect to the historical building and surrounding area. Front desk staff was very helpful and courteous. Breakfast had plenty of options.plenty of Dining options within walking distance- cute little French place next door was perfect for a night cap. Room was the quietest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Bathroom was the cleanest I have ever seen. Parking garage very reasonable compared to other hotels downtown. This hotel has great value- wine and cheese complimentary HH mid week and cookies every afternoon. Has the amenities of a Kimpton but without the $$$a highly recommend
