  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very nice location and price was good for it

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    But everything was perfect. It is a beautiful place and though we were there for one night and literally no time to enjoy sights and food we will come back.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We love staying here when we book a show at Fitzgerald’s. It’s charming, has two great restaurants attached, rooms have everything you need, and we always sleep comfortably.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Spacious room, very clean, comfortable bed and very quiet. Wonderful location.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel was conveniently located in a nice neighborhood with shops and restaurants. It had a cool vintage style. Parking was easy. Check-in and check-out weren't particularly friendly, just neutral. The elevator was rickety. The room was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was vintage, in a good way. Would stay again if in the area.

    The plug in the bathtub had an excesive amount of mold on it. The bathroom door top hinge was almost coming off so the door did not close properly.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very spacious and clean rooms, customer friendly staff, excellent restaurant.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The hotel is super charming and the room was clean and comfortable with the exception of the very firm mattress. I guess you like it firm or you don't! The staff was very friendly and the onsite restaurants were great. I'd stay again and recommend it to my friends.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Located in a nice area. Beautiful hotel. Walkable to restaurants. Will stay again!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    For an older, historic hotel, it was in surprisingly good condition.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We loved this hotel. It definitely had great historical feel, and it was vintage in all the best ways. One tricky thing is that there is no elevator from the main floor, so we had to put our luggage cart on the wheelchair lift twice... BUT, that was not a huge deal, just perhaps a hiccup if a guest has mobility issues. Overall, the place was wonderful! It was only a few miles to the main attractions, but the traffic is big city traffic, so that made the trips longer, so keep that in mind. Also, don't sleep on Blackout Coffee -- it was an amazing coffee shop right outside the hotel and around the corner for excellent morning coffee and pastries!

    Priced right Easy access to all Wright properties Clean neighborhood and streets Easy access to Green lIne and downtown in half hour Very nice Italian restaurant in lobby too

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    There were hairs in the sink and in one of the glasses. The other glass, though still covered, had about a half inch of water in it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The stay was great! Went for the weekend with my cousin. We arrived late at night and staff was very friendly, easy to navigate the place. Two dining establishments located within the hotel for dinner. The area itself was very nice and cozy. It was a 2 minute walk to the train. We would love to stay there again soon and bring friends with us. Would definitely recommend staying there!
