We felt very welcome and taken care off (we were allowed to check-in early). Everybody is so friendly. We liked the location. No car needed, we walked to the famous spots we had on our list and took public transport (a bus station is nearby). Our room was basic and clean.The attached retro Diner was a plus. Coffee maker was available on request. Great value.

I would put zero stars if I could. They kicked us out for no probable reason, finally, my thinking it was because of race . Worst hotel and customer service especially the owner, he should not run this business.

area didn’t feel safe at first, but it ended up not being too bad. the room was really small, but comfortable enough. no fridge or microwave. the floor seemed a little dirty but I just wore socks the whole time. there was a weird dent in the wall above the bed. i was only there to sleep so it was convenient and nice enough. nice staff!

The value for the property and the location is unbeatable. Yes, it’s an older hotel, so as many reviewers have commented, it has a bit of a musty smell in the hallways. The room, however, was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff is super friendly. If you are looking for great value and a very accessible neighborhood I highly recommend the Touchstone Hotel.

Clean but simple
Quick over night stay for business and don’t want to pay 350 for a room. This hotel was priced right but the old “ get what you pay for” should be taken into consideration. Small room, very firm double bed with basic sheets and cheap mattress. However the place was clean and there were even some toiletries. The shower was quite old and showed its wear. I thought it was dirty at first but realized it was just etching and deterioration. The staff at the desk were kind and pleasant and for a quick night sleep it was fine. If you re looking for luxury, skip this place. It’s basic but clean and adequate.

Hidden gem
We really enjoyed this hotel, mostly because the staff were so kind and helpful, and the beds were so comfortable. It was HOT, and our room was pretty hot but the fan helped. I think I'll be back.
