A Hidden Gem with Style and Personality This boutique hotel is truly a hidden gem—elegant, welcoming, and full of thoughtful touches that made my stay memorable. I’m so glad I found it. The hotel has a cozy, urban feel. I stayed on the second floor and could hear both the street noise and occasional footsteps from the room above—very reminiscent of NYC apartment living. If you're a light sleeper, I’d recommend bringing earplugs. My room was directly above the Blarney Stone Bar, which could be an issue on a loud night, though luckily it was quiet during my stay. The room was beautifully appointed with one of the best-stocked mini bars I’ve seen. The Fiji water was a nice touch, and you can even order food from the pub downstairs for room service. Make sure you're familiar with central air systems; I’m used to window units, and mine kept switching to energy-saving mode during the night, which was a bit tricky to manage. Security is solid—the door has a deadbolt (though no latch), and the elevator requires a key card. I appreciated the added sense of safety. One of my favorite parts was the complimentary wine and cheese hour—a great chance to unwind and meet fellow guests. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout my stay, making everything feel personalized and high-end. This place fills up quickly, even midweek, so I’d suggest booking early. Overall, the hotel blends style, comfort, and charm with five-star service. I’d absolutely stay again.

Room is very small to be a "suite". When we arrived there was a gronola bar on the ground. So not sure how clean the room really was. Also on the pull out sofa there was an open safety pin, luckily we saw it before our son layed on it

"We enjoyed the stay at the hotel. Everything was clean and fresh. The breakfast was good, but a bit more timeliness on the bacon prep would have been appreciated.
