Beautiful upscale hotel with a restaurant in the hotel. Food is trendy and expensive. Decor in the room is lovely with wood floors, a refrigerator underneath a built in shelf with a wet bar. King size bed is super comfy and black out curtains

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff, markets just around the corner. The beds are well used, meaning ours you could tell everyone sleeps on the right side. Flattened and not as comfy as it could be. Be aware- close to train tracks. Each morning 6-7a, 1-3 trains would blare their horns, also near state house, bells toll at all hours.

We liked: - the property was pet-friendly with wood-like floors. - the rolling cart in the ADA bathroom. - the friendly desk clerk We did not like: - the dim lights in the room. Needed extra lamps with bright bulbs - the smallness of the room - especially with a wheelchair - that the pocket door on the bathroom wouldn't stay closed, it kept rolling open - no ice, no room service, no laundry service - very poor parking situation that required walking outside by the criminal court building in a seedy area - very thin mattress on a platform bed - placing dogs in adjacent rooms where they could sense each other's presence throughout the night - ADA room with roll-in shower that had no shower seat - no way for a wheelchair user to hang clothes - only wall hook was in the bathroom behind furniture that a wheelchair-user could not reach. The hangers in the armoire were all too high for a wheel-chair user - small area rug in an ADA room. The rug kept getting caught in my wheels. The room was so filled with problems that we didn't attempt to rectify them. Instead we just got out of there as quickly as possible. And I made sure that the hosts of my conference knew to never use or recommend the Surety Hotel for their future attendees.
