Great location. Very friendly staff. Fantastic view from our corner room. We had dinner on the rooftop and it was a great experience. The waitress was so nice and competent, handling a big party and the rest of the diners by herself. She did a fantastic job.

We enjoyed staying in a renovated historical hotel. We loved the historical photos through out the hotel. Broadway street was fun and the local cafe Fresco Bistro which was excellent and was in walking distance of the hotel. The only limitation was some of the restaurants were closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Beautifully imagined repurposing of an early 20th century office building into a boutique hotel in a prime and convenient location with water views. It was a full capacity weekend when I stayed there, with a wedding taking place at the hotel and other guests booked in for other events in Lorain. I tried to check in early, but was told that no rooms were available and to come back at normal check-in (3PM). At 3 PM, there was a large queue of us but only one person manning the front desk and their check-in process is also a bit tedious (needs improvement, which would help expedite quick guest check-in if staffing is an issue), so it took some time. The bar was closed when I checked in, but looked handsome. Did not have occasion to try the restaurant during my brief visit to Lorain.

The dinner was great. The chef and service to be commended. Wish there had been breakfast available but we found a nearby place. Two of the little bars of soap would have been nice as either my daughter or I had to wait to wash our hands after eating if one of us was in the shower which slowed us down a bit but not serious. Overall, enjoyed our stay there.
