Fantastic!!

Amazing! I can’t say anything else. Out room was great, all the appliances we used worked great. The bed was beyond comfortable and everything was so clean! The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even apologized for the road construction on their street (which did not affect us at all with the exception of being able to drive to the entry and drop bags. There is a parking garage less than a 2 minute walk from the main property and we can walk to everywhere else downtown.

The room is great but check in is not ideal.

The hotel and the location are wonderful. However, the check in process is less than ideal. The reception desk simply watched us wait in the lobby after repeatedly checking the availability of the room, and only at the last minute advised us of the readiness of the room. The hotel room is also a walk away from the main lobby, and no help is offered

Great place to stay as it’s very walkable to restaurants and museums. It is a little louder outside but goes with what you would expect in the middle of town. The breakfast was simple but very good. I stayed in the Tannery and loved the whole idea of these “homes”.

Excellent! The location, the apartment, amenities: all excellent. Best of all, if you pay for the breakfast, they’ll leave fresh bread hanging your door handle in the morning. Totally worth it! Plants breakfast was 2 oranges, 2 yogurts, sliced bread, ham, and cheese, jams, butter, and a whole red pepper. Room was huge, clean, and everything was perfect.

This was our favorite place to stay. Clean, efficient, cute. Even with the parking struggle, if we had known how great this place would be, we would have made it our home base. Crispy linens, wonderful bathroom amenities. For my Western travelers think condo not hotel. Coffee, cocoa, breakfast basket with fruit, yogurt, cheese, sandwich meats, dark chocolates. Full length blackout curtains, flip out top windows for circulation…and a balcony..a balcony to open the door and let fresh cool air lull us to sleep. I may or may not have refilled a travel size bottle with the AhmaZing body wash. Towel warmer dried our waterfall shoes, cocoa pods warmed our hands, delicious food filled our belly. And the fresh, oven warm bread delivery each morning…with that butter and jam. I ate that, in the bed, with coffee. It was decadent. No issue with noise and felt very safe with secure entry points. We were so pleased with whole experience of the accommodations.

I'd like to give it a 10. Our room was in another building so we had to manage luggage ourselves. It was on the lower level so couldn't leave windows open for air. The hotel did not honor the promised food and beverage credit. Area is good. Room was clean and had everything we needed and more.

Expensive, nice, but not worth the price.

This hotel has room in several buildings, spread out around several blocks. They advertised a bar in the hotel. They did not explain on the web site description that that the bar was several blocks away from the reception desk and it was well hidden. It woudl be good to have a map of the layout of the buildings, rooms available in each building, which building has a "functioning" hot tub and which building is closest to the bar. When we checked in they were very nice and said our room was not ready but could drop off our bags and they call us when it was ready. That was very handy. Too bad they did not explain that the hot tub was not working or that that the bar was several blocks away or that we get a 15% discount. We had a very nice apartment with a full small kitchen. The street in front of the building where the reception desk is located is still on a torn up street (as of August 2025), making the walk to the reception desk pretty difficult. When we requested more TP, extra towel, and an extra pillow they were delivered promptly. Even though we chose to re-use our towels, they still changed them and kept the extra towel. This was a very nice place and located in a fun district, but it as very expensive and a bit convoluted to find some of the the amenities. Too bad the roof top hot tub was not working. In retrospect, we should have asked for a discount. Thanks to the reviews on Hotels.com we knew we were in for a bit of walk to the reception desk and to park in Zone 3.

A very well run, welcoming hotel. The front desk staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The room was clean with comfortable beds. A kettle, coffee machine, toaster and microwave were provided. The breakfast basket contained a good mixture of fresh fruit, ham, cheese, yoghurts, milk and fruit juice. Fresh bread from the local bakery was delivered daily. The apartments are just off the main shopping street and there is a Bonus supermarket up the road. Highly recommended!

Cons: I'm surprised that we got a room located in the basement of the building and the room is next to the street. There's a strong smell of mold in the room. Unfortunately, the hotel is fully booked so we can't change room and they offered a 10% discount. Pros: the room is very practical with a kitchen and everything you need to cook for a small meal on a trip. The bed mattress is comfortable. I also like the breakfast sourdough, which is freshly baked from the popular bakery in the city.
