"Unfortunately the pool was closed for remodel which we didn’t know prior but the staff at the front desk was very helpful and let the kids have a treat as a conciliation. The shuttle was so convenient to have as a part of our stay so we could just enjoy our visit. Room was clean and it was nice they came in and brought fresh towels. Most places don’t even provide that anymore."

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"
