A beautiful boutique collection of classic and well located Victorian properties with characterful and spacious rooms with lots of original features. Lots of renovation and upgrading work going on, so be prepared for some areas needing a bit of TLC, but the quality and potential is obvious. It’s a great project. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay! It's a beautiful spot, and we especially loved the courtyard area for eating breakfast and lounging. The only downside was that our room didn't have a mini fridge, but that was something I should have considered ahead of time. I especially loved all of the gorgeous Victorian architecture!

Our room was spacious and well maintained, with the exception of the carpet, which I believe is in the process of being replaced. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless (with a very large tub!) The sheets were crisp and the pillows fluffy. There is no longer food service because they are in the process of replacing it with a restaurant, but there were nice places to eat around the corner.

The building we were in was secure and very clean. We liked the fact there was parking on property and off the side street. The air conditioning was working well for the middle of the hot summer. If I had any complaint at all it would be disappointment with the breakfast. The write up in Experian said it was a full breakfast but it was only fruit (apples & oranges) and pastries. It was OK but not what we were expecting.

Charming place with tons of character. Not great for more than a night. The bed was the creakiest thing I have ever slept on—seriously rolling over probably woke the whole hotel—making it uncomfortable. Location was great to access the free Q line.

Fantastic location and the staff were really nice. The room was comfortable and sitting rooms were very cool. My only complaint I had was a difficult time with the temperature in the room. I had a window AC and box fan and that was fine for the day time but it stayed really cold during the night, and the thermostat didn’t seem to work to heat it back up.
