Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at Sessions & Retreat Hotel, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Upon entering the room, I noticed several issues that should never occur at any hotel. First, the room felt poorly maintained. The sofa bed was visibly stained and clearly not cleaned, making it unusable. Even more troubling, there was trash left under the kitchen cabinet, which not only indicated a lack of proper cleaning but also raised serious concerns about the hotel’s hygiene standards. To add to the frustration, the restroom door didn’t close or lock properly, which was both inconvenient and unacceptable. These issues significantly impacted my stay and left me questioning the hotel’s commitment to quality and guest satisfaction. I sincerely hope the management addresses these problems promptly to provide a better experience for future guests. However, until significant improvements are made, I cannot recommend staying at this hotel.

Very cozy and convenient location for nearby shops and restaurants. Certain things like space and noise from other guests weren’t the best part of the stay.

An A+ hotel room with a stove and full-size fridge
Frank and Pepper at the front desk were so hospitable, warm, and friendly. They made us feel very welcome. The rooms are super cool — hipster vibes — plus, we had a full-size fridge, stove, and oven?! Yes, we love it. We spent the evening hanging outside by the fire pit, and it was the perfect little getaway for me and my fiance.
