    Last minute pool closure was quite inconvenient. Everything else top notch.

    Central location, friendly staff, comfy accommodations.

    I am a 62-year-old straight woman and happened upon this hotel by accident. It was definitely an obvious gay hotel once I came in, with very explicit art and objects around so at first I was caught off guard;) But…..I really enjoyed myself & all the staff was very outgoing,sweet and helpful! They made me feel very welcome, In spite of the fact I wasn’t gay & the only woman there at the time. It was a nice facility with a lovely pool, quiet & comfortable room! They had complimentary wine and cheese in the evening, and a wonderful breakfast in the morning. I would come back again and suggest it to gay or straight people.

    It is something very minor, but it is a personal preference. I wish the pool was not so close to the bar, but it was all good.

    My partner and I had a relaxing, great time. The staff outdid themselves. They showed all the amenities, and everything was super clean. They were amicable, professional, engaging, and caring. I am going back this summer/fall and stay longer.

    Personally, I didn't have any concerns about our stay. I took the time to research/read the reviews from other guests and knew what to expect before booking. However, my partner gets really cold and didn't care for the temperature in the room. Additionally, he stomped his toes on the edge of bed a few times despite the warning. But other than that, "A Time Was Had."

    I loved the ease of checking in, as well as the friendliness of Chris, Grayson, David, and Conrad. This was a completely different environment for my partner and I, so I'm sure we stuck out like a sore thumb. But thanks to the advice of the staff we had the time of our lives. We're definitely looking forward looking to visiting again soon. Thank you all for being so amazing.

    I stubbed my toe on the bed even after I was warned about it by staff two times lol. All seriousness...I dont have any negative questions, comments or concerns.

    From the very get go, management made a couple adjustments to accommodate me which made my whole stay much more comfortable. I was shown my room, especially the step up bathroom. The food was outstanding for bar food. Grilled chicken sandwich was unbelievable, shrimp with chili sauce was superb. You can eat in the night club or they'll gladly fix it to-go for your room. I don't drink but I was more than okay sitting at the bar. Bartenders gave me the same great service as a drinker. The whole theme of the hotel and artwork popped and came to life. David and his staff do exceptional work for the paying guests. I'm about to make reservations for three weeks from now.

    Knowing it’s a renovated space from an older hotel, I knew to expect the room size to be small. I wasn’t expecting the bathroom sink to be outside of the bathroom. Honestly that’s minor and it was my only issue. The customer service completely made up for that minor issue.

    Staff were excellent and accommodating. I was blown away from the friendliness and hospitality. Plus the welcome drink was a pleasant surprise.

    Just the corner of the bed stuck out a little bit making it easy to bump into. We were told about it while we check-in. It just needs bumper guards.

    Great hotel, David the hotel manager he was very helpful answered all our questions, even switched our room when we asked. Breakfast was good lots of coffee and muffins available.

    Parking lot is about a block away and just a dirt lot. Some creaky, banging pipes. Bathroom is a bit small and awkward but understandable as it is a very historic building and their is only so much they are allowed to change.

    We loved the location. Literally right above Cocktail bar/club. Even though it is above a club the room was very quiet. So many food and drink options in walking distance. I liked how a staff member walked us to our room and explained the room lay out etc.

    No coffee maker in room and no fridge. The sink basin was the smallest/narrowest I’ve ever seen, so much easier to wash face in the shower. Excessive emails were coming to me from the property weeks before and after my stay.

    Overall the hotel is great! I liked everything they had to offer and had a terrific experience! one area of opportunity for the management in try to minimize the noise at night. I could hear the staff cleaning after closing the pool area, kitchen, and the bar.

    Small hotel but lots of fun! pretty staff! and everyone in the community seems to love the hotel and staff.

    I had to wait 2 hours to find someone at the lower bar at the hotel to check me in. I also had to have a bartender let me in the hotel through a crowded bar with all my luggage. The shower rod fell on me when getting in the shower and I could not reposition it. I had an emergency hospitalization and the hotel said the room was in ‘bad condition’ and held my luggage for a $500 cleaning fee that I am still disputing and the hotel still is holding my luggage and would not even release my ID. The room was small, air conditioner was controlled by owner and he kept remotely adjusting it. Would never stay again and don’t recommend this establishment to others.
