9.8/10 Exceptional! (209 reviews)
Treehouse Frame Hotel is an absolute hidden gem. Wonderfully appointed, it was very relaxing and tranquil. Since it was such a small boutique property, it was much more enjoyable than a standard hotel. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the room amenities were excellent. South Congress was just a block over so very walkable. Even though there are some bars near by, we didn’t hear them from our room. We will definitely stay at Frame Hotel again. Unbelievably pleasantly surprised. Well done.
