“This property nails the location, steps from major transit hubs and the evolving Coal Drop Yards scene. While rooms might be compact, they're well-appointed, reflecting a commitment to both Victorian heritage and modern luxury. I like the hotel's dedication to sustainability and the vibrant atmosphere created by the live jazz at the bar.”
