The hotel's rooms are great for extended stays, with spacious kitchenettes, though there were some issues like wallpaper peeling off, stains on the curtains, and limited trash cans. The service was excellent, with thoughtful gestures and a range of amenities. The location is perfect for exploring the vibrant city, housed in a unique traditional bank building. The dining experience was enjoyable, albeit with some minor issues like running out of plates and silverware.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean, reminiscent of New York apartments, but the maintenance could have been better. The modern design of the rooms was a plus. The service was attentive, although there seemed to be discrepancies in pricing and staffing. The location was convenient for exploring the theater district on foot, but cleanliness issues detracted from the overall experience. The dining options were limited, although the setting in an old bank vault was interesting. Overall, a stay with highlights and drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a nice view of downtown but were unfortunately facing an Irish Pub that was very loud at times, disrupting our sleep. However, the rooms were cozy and clean with a great shower. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster; Miss Elena the housekeeper was outstanding, going above and beyond, but there were parking issues and unexpected charges for valet. The location was perfect for exploring the vibrant area, near many bars and restaurants. On the downside, the rooms were described as drafty and cool. The dining experience, although anticipated each morning, was rated subpar for this quality of hotel. Overall, the hotel offers clean rooms, excellent service from certain staff members, and a superb location, but there are areas such as noise disturbances and dining quality that could be improved.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very nice and clean, and it was great that my daughter had her 'own room' on the pull-out sofa. The service was exceptional, with friendly and hardworking staff. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the Short North area. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, although seating was limited. Overall, a great experience with a few minor downsides.

Rooms

The rooms had a mini kitchen and a larger bathroom, very nice and clean. It was misleading that the sitting area is not a separate bedroom, but my daughter enjoyed her 'own room' on the pull-out sofa.
