Erin Vacations from $597

Room wreaked of smoke. Beds were rock hard, squeaky and moved. Surfaces were sticky. Normal wear and tear stains etc. the worst was the beds! All of us woke up with back pain. We didn’t use any of the amenities so I cannot comment on those. Breakfast was lackluster. Eggs, sausage links, potatoes and the usual cereals and such. No pancakes or biscuits, bacon and gravy. Unfortunately do not recommend. Cute concept but needs some upgrades and new mattresses.

My wife and I were on the road and we missed our regular visits to a B&B not far from home. Saint Kate came up on our search offering a trifecta: a genuine art gallery, live music at the bar and weekend brunch. We were not disappointed. The entire hotel experience is about the arts, from the soap in the bathroom shaped like pink erasers we went to school with, to the galleries spanning two floors, to the DJ entertaining us at Saturday morning brunch that was like our B&B experience. WiFi might be underpowered here, but if you're here for work, you're missing the point of the experience. Stow the laptop, put your work phone on mute, and let your hair down and enjoy!

When you’re too hard to be cool, you can lose functionality. I get that this hotel is geared toward an adult crowd. I learned this by the glass wall the separated the shower and bedroom, which was essentially see through. My 19 year old daughter stayed with me and my husband and my husband had to leave the room while she showered, and vice versa. Super uncomfortable and stupid. When someone uses the bathroom the whole room is lit up like a Christmas tree because of this glass wall. We asked for water bottles to purchase. They had none. I asked if they had certain things for purchase and no one seemed to have answers. I asked when the hotel opened, thinking that I would give them a break if it was brand new and they needed to work out kinks. Nope. Not new, just poorly trained staff and a hotel that focused too much on a weird scent wafting through the whole hotel rather than on actual useful amenities.
