9.2/10 Wonderful! (517 reviews)

The place really is fun, but quiet hours don't start until midnight on Friday and Saturday, and it was noisy. As a boutique hotel they get by with not having any staff on hand after 10:00 so not much could be done anyway (I had an early morning drive the next day, so maybe that's why I'm not so charitable in this review; take if for what it's worth). The HVAC in our top-floor room had a bizarre noise (loud clinking/clanking for 30 seconds after the heat shut off) and I told the bartender (who doubles as the front desk during the day) and was told that "housekeeping would be up." They weren't. Coffee maker didn't work. But like I said, Brewhalla overall is a fun place, it's just that the hotel is run more like an AirBNB.
