We traveled for our 25th wedding anniversary! We loved the history of the Blind Tiger!! Love the billiards room and the mix of modern and antiques! Our only suggestion would to be to add a fan for some air flow. :)

We loved our stay at the Blind Tiger! I stayed with my husband and two kids, 10 and 6. The beautiful spread they put out for breakfast would be enough to win us over but the property is gorgeous, the staff so lovely, and the location super convenient. Highly recommend!

The property is very unique, room has a homey vibe but very modern feel. I would want to live here, versus feeling like my grandma lives here. The person who checked us in was so helpful, she gave us a ton of recommendations for places to eat, find live music, shopping to suit many tastes. Property on the whole has a really cool feel and would def recommend.
