First time staying. It’s a beautiful property. Room was nice. Kind of stuck doing valet parking since it is downtown and can’t park anywhere else. Only thing was that the bar/restaurant was closed at 10 and not much around to eat open at that time.

Nice place. The bar was great and the cocktails excellent. Breakfast at the Farmacy was also good. The only odd thing, was that one side of the shower facing the bedroom was glass, meaning that you could see into the bathroom from the bed! Okay I suppose if you want to watch someone using the loo but not really my thing!

This hotel was one of my absolute favorites and I am not normally a fan of any hotel. It is so unique, right downtown and close to everyone. Quiet over night and fun during the day. It’s so affordable yet you feel like you’re staying at 5 star hotel. I couldn’t be more happier.
