We stayed at The Sparrow last night and thoroughly enjoyed the stay! The staff was warm, friendly and went "above and beyond" to deliver on an expectation we had from a "write up" about the hotel! Our room was clean, cozy and had all the needed amenities, without feeling overdone. The bed was comfortable, some may feel it is a bit too soft, but we slept just great! The location is nice as there are lots of walkable dining/bar options nearby. Loved it!

Let me start by saying I would for sure stay here again. Location was convenient, room was very clean, bed was very comfortable. My one take away from this place was that the netflix and apps would not work on the TV and the parking was EXTREMELY tight. The average driver would not even try to dit in some of those spots. Otherwise, great experience.
