Venue Testimonials
I stayed in the CUB Suite on the night before my wedding. My groomsmen and I used the room to get ready and for photos. Everything was perfect. The staff are extremely professional, and nothing was too much trouble. I can’t thank everyone enough for making our day so easy.
Sebastian D
Came for a business meeting. I scored a two level loft room with great authentic styling. The lower floor was great to host a couple of visitors to prep for our meeting without them sitting awkwardly on the bed like a normal hotel room.
Tim C
The Hotel has a great deal of atmosphere and charm. It is sumptuously furnished in the best possible taste. The level of service is also excellent, and the staff really try to go the extra mile in order to provide sterling service!
