The property was very nice and the location is awesome! We had ants in our room, but the head of housekeeping was AMAZING and got us moved us to another room (even after the front desk said that wasn't possible). They were doing some floor repairs on our second day and it was extremely loud! I had lunch in the restaurant and the noise was so loud the staff were shouting at customers to get their orders. I understand that maintenance has to be done, but a heads up would've been nice so I could've made alternate dining plans.

The staff were great and the bartenders were super cool. We loved the water/fruit station at each floor to fill up bottles for our room. Nice touch. Really great job on the property renovation as an old motel.conveniently located as well with a short walk to any fun thing to do as a tourist. I'd stay again.

The Emeline is a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved the decor and the restaurant Frannie and the fox was delicious. Advice for those staying I would suggest you not take a room by the staircase or by the back street view. We had a lot of noise from the street and from the entertainment truck packing up equipment from a wedding that ended at the Emeline. Also leave your door open if you are in the suite. Most of the air conditioning came from the living room area and we were really hot until we realized we needed to leave that door open to let air flow in. They have a nice setup of nespresso coffee, tea and filtered water in the hallway. I also really liked the wine and beer hour given to hotel guests between 3-4pm. Nice touch.

I purchased the premier double bed room which on the images it should a room with a couch. This is not accurate to what the hotel gives you. The front desk person even looked it up on Expedia and said it’s Expedias fault. Be very careful because pictures do no match what you get
