"Artful Hotel Stay"

Appreciate the Labor themed museum presentation. Nice gym. Great location.

Linden H. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room)

Verified Review, stayed from Wed Sep 09 to Sat Sep 12 2026 at a $177.99 average nightly rate.

"Comfortable Friendly downtown location"

We stayed three nights. Room very comfortable, staff goes out of their way to make everything as you wish. We were in town for a family wedding and this hotel does not have a "lobby" to meet up and sit and chat. We ended up using the restaurant for breakfast and gathered there. The restaurant area was having HVAC problems so only served breakfast during this time as it was too warm to serve lunch or dinner. Breakfast was fine, staff very helpful. We found food off site for lunch or dinner. The hotel itself is a museum which was interesting. It is a former bank building.
