Dr United States of America

Fabulous location near best shopping district. Only a few blocks from end of the trolly line. Walkable from the subway and easy 40min ride from the airport made it perfect to skip the Uber. Hotel has been updated to this modern time. Decor is urban‐with a nod to local history it is done well without losing its timeless architectural memories. Staff was attentive and helpful. Great lounge bar with DJ was a memorable nightcap to end my stay.

Trifts United States of America

Perfect location. love the great old architecture with updated design. Our room was large and nicely done. especially liked the separate dressing room area and barn door with large full mirror. staff was superb!
