A romantic getaway!

central locationconvenient cafeawful noise

The location was CENTRAL. The proximity to Waverly Station was perfect. I loved having the kitchen available. It came well stocked with dishes. The multiple areas of the room were charming, and the little cafe in the lobby felt always hopping and very convenient to have.

The noise levels at night were unfortunately AWFUL. There was constant noise coming from outside. Even with ear plugs, I could still hear the bar.
