The bed was great, best sleep I have had in awhile! The building is right downtown so walkable to a little shopping and restaurants. Parking was right behind the building in their very quiet ramp. They had a small selection of free breakfast items in the foyer that was a nice surprise. The only downside, even though the building is nicely renovated, the entry level has a bit of a funky old building smell, but the smell isn’t up in the second floor where the hotel rooms are.

Beautiful building, rooms are newly renovated however it would have been nice to follow the decor of the older building for nuance. Staff was friendly and rooms were well maintained and clean. The only issue we had was finding the entrance from the parking ramp. It wasn’t clear that the hotel entrance was the entrance that appeared to belong to Roma’s Italian restaurant. Other than that the stay was wonderful.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the room we were supposed to have wasn’t cleaned when we checked in, and we got moved to another room that didn’t have windows. The room was very nice though. Nice bed, good pillows, nicely renovated, with the softest clean carpet.

Nice Surprise in the Heart of Aberdeen

Absolutely loved this hotel in downtown Aberdeen! The old charm of the check-in area brings a nostalgic touch to the experience, but I was truly surprised at how the entire guest floor area and room was completely remodeled and upgraded! Everything smelled brand new! Beautiful decor which gave a pleasant ambience to my stay!

This place is pretty cool. Love the historical pieces they kept in the lobby, old telephone switch board and telephone booths. Room was new, nice, and clean. Recommended
