    They really need to put carpet down on the hallways because the noise level from outside the room is very high unnecessarily. Those old wood floors are nice, but they magnify the sound of anyone walking or pulling suitcases. Obviously they know it’s a problem because they supply you with earplugs which I’ve never seen before at any other hotel. Also, the breakfast was underwhelming. More like a motel breakfast.

    Loved the decor and also the spaciousness of my room. The bathroom was well outfitted and overall very comfortable.

    That I had to leave at the end of my vacation. But I'll be back!

    It was super adorable, clean, comfortable, the staff was excellent and helpful, and everything was perfect. The decorations in every room being unique makes me want to stay and keep track of each time I stay and mark them off a list, trying to stay in them all! The mid century modern designs are to notch, who ever did the decorations were on point.

    Our room on the third floor , maybe 317, it was in a corner. Area at door was lower. I said this is an accident waiting to happen. During the night my husband fell down that step. It should be painted a different color or taped to reveal a drpression. We are seniors. I fear someone else might get hurt.

    Breakfast was good

    Location - walked to dinner, and lots of homeless people. Also the sound outside was very loud, and since it's an old hotel we could hear it falling asleep.

    Service was fantastic, valet was nice, hotel room was very clean and bed was very comfy.

    Breakfast could be a a bit more enhanced but with so many restaurants 5 minutes from the hotel who cares! Lol

    Unique! There were so many hidden gems within the property. The Bar, The Lounge, The covered Patio that made you feel like you were sitting in a quaint cafe in Paris and the complimentary board games! The staff at The Dwell are EXCELLENT…Harrison and Mark are the absolute best!

    This was a anniversary night away. When I booked with Dwell I asked if a bottle of champagne can be in rm before we arrived. Unfortunately room service is not available. When we arrived there was a bottle on ice waiting for us with a card saying happy anniversary! That was so sweet and really made a great 1st impression. I love the art deco decor. The rm was impeccable. Customer service was excellent! We will definitely stay again.

    This hotel is fantastic.

    I love the style, ambiance, and staff at the Dwell. I stayed in the Asian styled room, and it was fun. The bathtub is AMAZING! It is a must. It is a boutique hotel and more expensive than the regular hotel however it is beautiful. Every detail is thought of, including the bar and the breakfast in the morning. Put this hotel on your list for special occasions or a self-care weekend. Also the hotel manager is now one of my 😍 people. He loves the hospitality industry and guests.

    I didn’t love that Check-in was a bit late at 4 PM. I also thought the breakfast was pretty lame considering how expensive the hotel room was. It would’ve been nice to have hard-boiled eggs and some sort of toast with nice butter and jam. There is definitely room for improvement for breakfast and a bottle of water in the room (Complementary) would’ve also been a nice touch.

    I thought the design of the hotel was very cool and we loved our cocktails at Matilda’s bar. I also enjoyed the fact that you could use the pool and gym at the common house.

    The mattress needs to be replaced lumpy and too soft not supportive enough. The continental breakfast consisted of (1) type of scone, (1) type of yogurt, granola for cereal, (1) type of juice.
