Really great experience and I highly recommend it as we hope to return.

Loved the museum, the bedding was amazingly comfortable. The staff very friendly and attentive. The spa was great. Barbara and Desiree were fantastic.

The toilet ran the whole time we were there even though we reported it on day 1. The outside of the windows are in desperate need of cleaning.

We enjoyed the place/museum. Love the bar area & the staff was really friendly. Needs cleaned

We did not eat breakfast there. We love the place but it wasn't very clean. Scuffs on the hallway walls, carpet fraying and dirt in the corners of the room and bath. Love the decor and the walls in the bath.

liked it all except needed better cleaning

Pleasant stay for a few nights

Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. The mattress and pillows were comfortable. I also really liked the shampoo, conditioner and body soap in the shower.

The hotel needs a little TLC. Fresh paint in the hallways and hotel room.

Very attentive staff and nice concept with the art, which added to our stay.

I’m sorry the rooftop wasn’t open during our stay.

Great hotel. Very eclectic, but nice! I’d stay here again.

Nice hotel, comfortable beds

Our lights were on a timer. They’d go off every few minutes. We had to open the door every time to rest timer. Told desk. They said they’d fix it, but it wasn’t fixed.

Good but too expensive.

I tried to book a suite because I liked the one I had last time.

There was no suite available. I was quoted a price of $269 +tax. The bill was $560 with the only extra service $40 for overnight valet parking. How did we get double tge rate quoted?

Not bad. I'd stay again.

Coffee maker in room 713 didn't work. Parking was waaaay more expensive than anticipated. No complimentary breakfast was a bit surprising, at this price point.

See above. The art is fascinating, workout room pretty good, and room was fine, save for the coffee maker.

Excellent stay with very friendly staff!

Excellent customer service all around. The front desk and valets were super helpful with things to know and recommendations for what to do in the city.

Nothing to note that we didn't lik.

Pleasant

Good location, original museum vibe

Unnecessary complications with tax exemption (worked eventually, after some back and forth). At this price, I would have expected staff to handle this straight away, especially since I had pointed it out when booking.

Very good city centre hotel - recommended

Excellent location and very comfortable rooms - superb bathrooms and beds. Friendly helpful front-desk staff.

The lack of a proper breakfast - makes life tricky when you’re travelling for work

unique hotel with great service an excellent location

Loved the art and Public spaces. Restaurant was excellent with great service.

areas of the hotel need updated. For example, carpet in the room was frayed. Although the bedding was certainly Covid, safe with the double sheets in a blanket if you want to sleep with the room cool this was not enough to keep you comfortable. I wish there had been a duvet with a cover that was changed. we had a suite with a large extra room and sectional and dining table. Refrigerator was not stocked with any amenities to purchase and there was no microwave.

It was a comfortable stay on a beautiful property situated in a convenient location

1) Breakfast was delicious. Maybe consider a buffet as well. 2) THANKS FOR BEING DOG FRIENDLY! I'll have to come back with my fur baby.

1) Please consider opening the restaurant an hour early. I was really hungry and didn't have reservations for anything nearby. I also didn't want "snacks" like chips, etc. 2) The hotel ran out of bottled water one night which was not ideal for me. I wasn't feeling well and really needed it.
