We loved the convenience of this hotel's location on Congress St - close to specialty stores, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. It was great being just a short stroll away from everything we wanted to see. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with spacious and clean rooms that offered a lot of charm and character. The staff was also excellent, accommodating, and friendly, making us feel welcome and at home during our stay.
Nothing could have been better.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. Our room was clean, charming, and had a comfortable bed. The bathroom was nice and had high-quality toiletries. The hotel had lovely decor and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The check-in process was quick and easy. We also enjoyed the location, as it was about a mile walk to the waterfront area. There were some great restaurants within a few blocks, including a trendy bakery right across the street.
Not obvious to find.
We loved the cleanliness and modern facilities of this hotel. The rooms were large and quiet, with comfortable features. The hotel offered free parking and was conveniently located in the center of town, very close to the state theater and right across the street from Tandem. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, assisting us with directions and providing a map before check-in time.
Could not be improved in any way.
I absolutely loved the spacious and well-lit rooms at this hotel. They were squeaky clean and had a great ambiance. The hotel also had a dedicated parking space, which was convenient. Additionally, the location was superb, with plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The hotel's proximity to downtown made it easy to explore the city and its popular tourist destinations.
Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making check-in a breeze. The location was also great, as I could easily walk to many restaurants and coffeehouses in less than 10 minutes. The hotel itself was beautiful, with a nice historic building and personalized touches throughout. The cleanliness of the room was excellent, and I loved the fact that there was no carpet. The view from my room was wonderful, and the shower was top-notch. Additionally, the lobbies were inviting and had comfortable furniture to relax in.
No complaints.
