James

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
This property is way overpriced for what you get. This is an old Hampton Inn with fresh paint. The Trailborn Group model seems to be to purchase older hotels in great locations, paint them and charge the traveler double the market price. I am convinced that many of the reviews are fake. I have never seen so many 10/10 reviews before let alone for such an average offering. At least Hampton Inn offered a basic hot breakfast! Don't be a victim of this pump and dump scheme by a group of Ivy League ex bankers.

Beautiful room, but heating system thermostat did nor work. Set it at 69 and went to dinner, came back and the room was 85 at least and the heat still coming out. Complained at the desk, apparently noone on duty to reapair, Was offered another room but it was easier to open the balcony door, and shut the system off.

Trailborn is a win.
This is a fabulous property. Love the common areas and the quality of the snacks/tea offered. Have done a great job overhauling the space but keeping its original soul. Comfortable, well appointed and not at all fussy. Would absolutely return.
