We ended up staying here after our connecting flight got cancelled but this hotel really brought the good out of a bad situation. Amazing staff, great restaurant on site, super comfy beds, and nice area to work remotely. It felt more like a fun detour. Not far from the airport and fairly priced, very updated rooms.

First the great: Hayley(sp?) at the hotel bar, in the hotel restaurant, “Barristers”. The bar features some eclectic drinks and your mixologist extraordinaire will manifest with flair; she’s a super competent delight. The room and the whole place was clean. Really clean. The restaurant opens at 9:00 a.m. it should sooner. There was a horrible noise in our room and likely others - it sounded like a failing bearing in an air handler. It would/will drive some people insane. A loud screech is the best description. Some guest left takeout trash just out side their room. It was there when we arrived and still there five hours later - and I know for sure that some staff members saw it and ignored it. So a really mixed review.

I booked this hotel with no knowledge of the area. Though it was about 25 mins away from where I was going, the hotel was beautiful,clean and unique (the building was formerly a bank). I would definitely stay here again, everyone was nice and welcoming.

Vintage, cute, but small
They've done a beautiful job renovating this hotel, as it is historic. However, one elevator was not the best idea. I appreciate that it is historic and loved the location, but gosh the rooms are tiny and hanging my clothes in the coffee caddy wasn't exactly ideal. Bed was very comfortable and at least there was no noise from the nightclub next door.

It is a lovely hotel, right smack in the creative eating area. It can be noisy on a Saturday night, but fun as well If that’s what interests you. The Restaurant was very good. Staff very attentive and pleasant. Cute place in a restored bank building.
