Gorgeous hotel
The Walper is a gorgeous hotel. Right downtown, which can make it a little loud with traffic, but not bad. We went as a mini getaway over a weekend. So many restaurants within walking distance, although, we ate at the restaurant located below the hotel called the Social. It was amazing. Food was fantastic. The delux room is beautiful, and spacious. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again.

Beds very comfortable- we had a great roomy room but others paying same had very small rooms w small bathrooms.. Great rain shower.. issue checking in as rooms were not available till well after 3 pm but Carabana was on so could have affected cleaning of rooms. Staff were very friendly and apologetic. Dining room in basement- poor signage to get there and totally understaffed although staff very nice.. .
