Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The location was perfect for exploring downtown, and the dining experience was surprisingly good. The facilities offered were great as well.
I stayed on the 15th floor just behind the lift mechanism with a view, although the windows were not airtight. The room was a bit small for two people, not as spacious as expected from the photos on the website. The hotel's service was professional and efficient, especially appreciated needing a room key for access at certain times and the helpful recommendations for nearby dining after a long day of travel. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all the downtown attractions. The dining experience was enjoyable and filling, though it could get a bit crowded at times. The hotel's facilities were top-notch and added to the overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was cozy and convenient. The rooms were small but cozy with a nice large granite work desk and plenty of outlets. The water pressure was great, and the in-room fridge was large. I experienced no noise problems from other rooms and had a comfortable bed. The presence of a Keurig in the room was a delightful touch. Along Wabash, the location was easy to access.
