"An African American, Manager was exceptionally resourceful and extremely instrumental in mitigating a potential disaster. And because of him, I'd recommend this property easily. Breakfast was as expected, nice. And the beds were perfect.

"Beautiful hotel and restaurant housed in the original Farmers and Mechanics bank building. The location is close to local professional sports stadium and courts."
"Conveniently located in central downtown. Easy walk to all of the stadiums. The lobby is not particularly warm and we had trouble getting our rooms on time, but the hotel is reasonably priced and the rooms we had were great."
"Have to start by saying I’m a big Prince fan, so the oversized photo of him in the lobby won me over right away. The hotel smells amazing as soon as you walk in. The staff was helpful and the view of First Avenue in the Prince mural was a bonus. I had a suite and it was very spacious and inviting. I would definitely stay there again!"
"The hotel rooms were beautiful and had ample space. The pillows were amazing. The only issue I had was having to request a breakfast coupon every day. That was inconvenient and the floor I was on did not have an ice machine. The breakfast expensive, but quite tasty."
