This place really takes you back. My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel and their live music they have in their basement bar!! I wished we would’ve took advantage of the pool. We really appreciated this hotel and what it has to offer. Definitely going to keep my eye on this hotel and cross my finger for a low price room xD

Charming hotel but obnoxious clientele
This hotel is aesthetically very charming and eclectic, with a host of thoughtfully stylish details. The food and drinks are fantastic and the location is central. It was easily navigable via public transport and the North Park neighborhood is walkable with a lot of cool spots for dinner and going out. The only real downside was the clientele. There were a lot of loud & cheesy groups staying in the rooms around the pool, making loads of noise into the early hours of the morning. We aren't early to bed by any means, and were still woken up several times both nights we stayed. If the clientele had been a little cooler, we would've enjoyed the stay more.

A must see hotel
What an amazing hotel. Just an incredible gem, a bit like stepping back in time. From the rooms, to the pool, the lobby bar, the bowling alley. Everything was pretty amazing. Coasters with drink recipies, the best mini bars ever seen.

Beautiful renovation but avoid a stay
Gorgeous to look at but it’s essentially a club. The lobby bar is perpetually overcrowded with very young and trashy visitors. The staff our surface level friendly but are rude and inattentive if you need any service.

Staying the night here feels like sleeping at a pawn shop / thrift store. The rooms are cluttered, junky and full of ugly worn out stuff. Also, don’t plan on getting any sleep as it’s crazy loud… even though they provide ear plugs. The service is horrible- valet, check in, bartenders- none are helpful or interested in providing service. Skip this place or just have a drink here and move on!
