1. From: Margaret C., Akron OH USA
 Date of Stay: May, 2007
 Absolutely charming hotel with exceptional service and location.
 
2. From: Sapphire 9., Atlanta GA
 Date of Stay: February, 2007
 Location is great. Nice building but seems to be falling into disrepair. Electricity and heat went out the last night we were there. We left the next day at noon. The heat never came back on though we were repeatedly told that it was working and just hadn't made its way to our floor or our room yet. It was 14 degrees that night. We were not allowed early check-in and charged $2 per bag to be held. Won't be returning.
 
3. From: Cathy L., Arlington VA USA
 Date of Stay: February, 2007
 My husband, 4 year old and I stayed for a long weekend. The staff was so friendly, the location was very convenient for getting anywhere you wanted and the neighborhood was just lovely. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to spend a few days in the city. You are definitely in the heart of it all.

 Comforatable room; however, could use of refurbishment. Lobby could use updating as well.
 
5. From: C John T., Wilton NH USA
 Date of Stay: August, 2006
