You pay for the convenience
Very nice hotel. Clean, updated, but pricey. Not a fan of the very slow elevators and no convenient stairs to use instead.

Asked for my credit card after the stay
Had a nice stay. Paid via Hotels.com and had a credit on file for incidentals. A few hours after I left someone who claimed to be from the hotel called and asked for my credit card again. Seemed very shady and I am kinda reluctant to go back.

Mediocre; go to Hyatt
Not to the expectation for price. Staff wasn’t as welcoming as you’d expect, WiFi was running (with speed test) around 1mb/s, which is incredibly slow. No normal amenities, like a hot tub and pool. Paid breakfast, which is so scammy to me to be a “high-end” hotel in the city. Water temp for showers was like warm, too. It was very clean though. I loved the ambience of the room, but my goodness, do not come here for exceptional service or chilling at the hotel. You have to walk College Ave, but for us, that is impossible being 15F when we were there.

4/10 Fair

We arrived on graduation day to find just one person working in the “restaurant.” After waiting 45 minutes with no service or acknowledgment, we finally gave up and left. It was a disappointing experience, especially considering the $275 per night rate. We’ve previously stayed at The Graduate in Annapolis, which was exceptional, but this hotel fell far short of expectations. As a teacher, I wanted to treat my partner and myself to some nice stays as we traveled home for Christmas, but this was not it. Even the TRU by Hilton in rural Indiana provided a better experience than this so-called “boutique” hotel. It’s unfortunate, given all the promise this place seemed to have, but it clearly needs serious attention.
