“The building itself has a captivating history, and it's clear they've preserved that character, especially in spaces like the vintage-inspired martini bar. My stay was made especially comfortable by the remarkably plush bedding, and the hotel's placement puts you right at the doorstep of downtown's vibrant dining and shopping scene.”
