This place was wonderful and charming. I stayed here for a conference and was so glad I did. The room had all the amenities of other hotels, but the rooms were so unique and historic. All of the staff were more than helpful. They had a great bar and restaurant.

Stayed here to attend a concert at TQL Stadium. Was very happy with the entire stay. Great location walkable to the stadium and bars/restaurants. The hotel was perfect and classic, with live music on the evening that we stayed. The parking garage is private and less than a block away. Highly recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Perfect spot for seeing a show at the Opera House right across the street. Easy, locked, spacious parking garage. Plenty of places to eat / drink in walking distance.We want to come back when their restaurant in house is open.

What a fun place to stay! Innkeepers Reagan and Ashlyn were attentive and helpful and Reagan's mom's biscotti was delicious. Beautifully furnished rooms and convenient to the Connector mass transit as well as Washington Park and the Music Hall. Will definitely stay here again.

Great location but property needs upkeep. Staff unavailable except via phone. We saw on web, I think that parking is free but it costs $25 a night at a nearby garage. Free breakfast was not much—coffee lukewarm and few options. Only yogurt for gluten free option. Wouldn’t stay again.

The property is incredible. The decor, history, ambience, and staff can't be beat. I can't wait to come back and stay again. The room had every amenity imaginable, and was very comfortable. The dedicated parking garage was a great feature and even has chandeliers in it! My only issue wasn't with the hotel, it was trying to drive around the area. I suggest parking you car in the beautiful parking garage for your stay then walk or take public transportation (very convenient). This property is a must stay!!!
