The art on display throughout the hotel and in our room was very unique and so interesting--a very different ambience than what we are used to! The room was small, but adequate--even for six people! The... More

The hotel is indeed very artsy, which a lot of people will defintelty like. The rooms are very very small (and I am European so I am used to small rooms ;-)). The bathroom is fine, but also very small. The bed is nice, and the art work in the room and the corridors are very good. Breakfast is included,... More

The lady on the phone talked through the room options with us and we selected the room we liked based on the art and what was available. When we arrived we... More

We enjoyed our stay very much. The accommodations were just what we needed, small room but very comfortable, the staff was helpful and the galleria style makes it a very special place to stay. More
