This was our second stay here and will stay again when in town. Very cool place if you like art. Great service. Nice room but nothing really special about it. Super convenient location downtown on Main Street, walking distance to many attractions and distilleries. Very good on-site restaurant/bar.
Unique and fun place to stay. Loved the art works displayed throughout the property. Appreciated the sense of humor with the red penguins that surprised us appearing at different locations every day. Staff was professional and friendly. Small fridge in the room would have been nice.
If you love ORIGINALITY this is the place!!! We absolutely loved our stay …. funky, innovative and simply refreshing. The inspiring art is an absolute treat. Great taste and finally not another copycat hotel. AND the service was excellent, bed super comfortable, lovely bathroom and we couldn’t have been happier. If you haven’t tried it. It’s an absolute must!!!
Unique hotel with character. There's a museum inside and they provide you with a free bourbon sample to tour it. And the PENGUINS. Everywhere there are 3' tall red plastic penguins that seem to move around the hotel. What a fun idea. Woke up to one in front of our door one morning. Great staff!!! So helpful and great to talk to. Everyone from the doorman to the front desk and bar staff. Also loved the bar! Cici was amazing!
Mini fridge in room is full of paid items. No room to store any left overs or drinks. Otherwise everything was very nice. Clean room and rr, water pressure was great, museum was a nice spot to wander around and learn a bit. Easy in and out.
Lovely experience, room was beautiful, clean, comfortable; staff was welcoming. Hotel was just lovely. We would definitely go back and highly recommend it to other travelers.
Stayed there for thunder and it was so pleasant!
Quiet and comfortable. All staff was very helpful and the cleanliness of the entire hotel was amazing!
