    in-house gallery
    noise issue

    Had a great time with friends! We explored the area using free bicycles and loved the in-house gallery. The rooftop bar was perfect for drinks. Just a heads up, the breakfast spread is solid with tons of options. Totally recommend this spot for a fun getaway!

    We could hear some music late at night from the rooftop bar, but it wasn't too disruptive. A bit of a noise issue.

    We had a fantastic experience enjoying the complimentary champagne at check-in and relaxing at the rooftop bar. The live jazz entertainment was a delightful bonus too! The only downside was the need for some updates in the traditional section, but overall, it was a lovely stay. 🍾

    cozy room
    charming decor
    warm atmosphere
    no windows
    claustrophobic feel

    I stayed in the Enclave Interior Queen room for 2 nights. The room was cozy, but it felt a bit claustrophobic since it had no windows. The decor was really charming and fit the hotel vibe well. Super quiet at night, which was nice! Despite being small, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. They had great perks in the hotel that made up for the room's lack of light, but I’d definitely recommend checking your room if you’re sensitive to that.

    art hotel
    personal service

    Wonderful hotel in the historic district! Hitting the rooftop bar after a long day was a game changer. Plus, we woke up to a bag of breakfast goodies at our door every morning. These little things made our stay feel special.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but I’d say it was worth it.

    genuine hospitality
    thoughtful delivery
    lack of windows
    limited options
    potential noise

    A delightful experience, highlighted by champagne at check-in and the thoughtful delivery of fresh pastries each morning. The staff's genuine hospitality shone through, particularly in the attentive valet service. The room was spacious and immaculate, adding to the overall ambiance. However, the lack of windows in the Enclave Interior Queen may not appeal to everyone, and some may prefer more variety in light bites after hours.
