It's a very nice hotel however... If there's is an event or private function be prepared to be treated second best. They heavily prioritize groups and leave regular patrons feeling a little left pushed aside. While we were there two floors had water fountains out of service. Last but not least the standard rooms are SMALL. I mean REALLY small. It was pretty disappointing. We've stayed here a few times and each day was nice... But not without it's challenges.

Our room consistently smelled like sewage. The brick hallway/ corridor connecting the rooms to the front desk area also consistently smell of sewage. Hostess at Frannie and the Fox asked me to wait after picking up take out pizza for over 7 minutes while she chatted with another staff member around the corner. By the time I got back to my room the pizza was cold. Bikes were great - nice to ride around with when exploring. Two men at front desk were exceptional- professional and informative. Women were not that friendly at check in. Check out woman with accent and very red lipstick couldn't answer basic questions someone had to step in to answer my questions at check out. Room was clean but smelled of sewage all the time. Should have been told at check in that window faced a brick wall two feet away. Very claustrophobic feeling.

The hotel is very nice. Our room view was of the outside courtyard. All lit up in Christmas decor. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy much of the property amenities as we just needed a place to stay after a work holiday party downtown. The only complaint is the parking. Valet is $55/night. On street is free only until 5am. Was not going to get up that early to move my car. And the parking garage a block away was not operating so we parked in another garage three blocks away.

Typical ā€œinstagramā€ hotel. Average at best
Average stay. Beware if you are allergic to animals. The property is very pet friendly (theyā€™re everywhere), but I didnā€™t realize. Itchy red eyes throughout. They offered to move into another room, but could guarantee it would be any better. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Free coffee is great. Loved the free bike rentals and coffee shop downstairs. Outdoor patio with the winter tents was cool until a rat walked right up to us then ran into the bushes, ahh!! Overall, pictures make it look much better than it really was. Iā€™d look elsewhere in the future.

This hotel is pretty nice, but they donā€™t tell you that they have daily large parties and events steps outside your room. Events with hundreds of people until late at night, outside of your room. There is also no benefit to the VIP package AT ALL, so do not pay for that! Itā€™s impossible to get into the restaurant on site, and when we ordered in our room, they didnā€™t even bring plates for our food. The water bottle fillers are in another building and very tricky to access. Overall, this hotel is overpriced for the service, and having to deal with parties when youā€™re trying to have a vacation.

Loved this property and would absolutely stay again.. great location near City Market and short walk to the water and park and the Pineapple Fountain. Staff was perfect. You hardly noticed they were there but always right there when we needed anything. We never saw the staff cleaning the rooms and were never disturbed, but rooms were always cleaned when we were out, even though at different times of the day. All furnishings updated and stylish, bathrooms and toiletries luxurious and bedding and robes high quality. Turntable in the room a fun treat, Tall glass bottles in the room fillable with fresh filtered water from the hallway taps, and coffee, tea and treats in the hallway as well. Lovely outdoor restaurant/courtyard for relaxing with fireplace. Wish we took advantage of loaner bicycles.
