This boutique hotel is stunning on the inside. Booking and check-in were seamless. While nearly everything is done digitally, there was a person available at the desk that greeted us on arrival, but otherwise it was nice to show up and go right to our room.
Definitely at beautiful midst art deco vibe. The use of space is practically remarkable, especially inside the bathroom which is so compact; most of the space for the ample shower.
Here’s the rub…with the exception of the Madison, this is a residential neighborhood and the house to the right and everything behind it is rough (and that is generous). It faces the field of an elementary school, which I assume makes weekends easy for parking, but getting around during the week might be a challenge. If you are staying on the backside of the hotel, might as well not open the curtains.
Bring your own coffee pods unless Folgers and Coffemate creamer are your morning jam (seriously?!)
The coffee machine is not great, but it gets the job done. Also, real coffee cups would be a super nice touch.
The walls are hotel thin. We were in room 20 at the end of the hall, next to the back entry door and it was a bit loud. The folks in room 19 were festive, but it was mid-evening, so I’ll keep this complaint light and if you keep the pocket door to the bathroom closed, that helps.
Get the double queen room, even if you don’t need the extra bed. The extra space will make a difference. A short jaunt to Bishop St and you are made.
