Everything is unique about this experience. From the bar/lounge restaurant to the multiple art installations through the interesting nooks and crannies of the awesome old dart deco building. My second time there and I got a corner room that was incredible. Can’t wait for a reason to return.

The rooms were very clean and the staff were very welcoming and kind! The beds were not comfortable and the sheets were thin. The walls were very thin. The tv was outdated and had no streaming options and only about 20 channels. They also have no concession stands. I would more than likely choose another hotel if I ever visited the area.

This place is so unique and it’s conveniently located downtown. The front desk let us check in an hour early; our room was classy and very clean; it has a nice fitness center and sauna in the basement; and the hotel provided us with a nice welcome card and fruit tray in our room without us asking for this or charging us for it — what a nice touch. It’s one of the best places we’ve ever stayed.

It was a couple date and i adore the room it was clean and well kept. I loved the decor and the museum was amazing. I also loved the food from the restaurant The only thing I didn't like was the TV It was messing up pretty bad and the room wouldn't never get cool. But When I went to the staff with my concern they was very understanding and respectful about my concerned and fix the problem right away I give them a 9/10. Even though i a little issues I will still come back. thanks again for your hospitality.
