We had a wonderful stay! This hotel is such a special property. Our room was lovely and we really enjoyed the thoughtful design and style of the place. Being able to walk right across the street to the concert venue was amazing. Customer service was outstanding. Jake was especially helpful and kind, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay! The breakfast was tasty too. Honestly, we didn’t want to leave!

EXCELLENT! This is my new favorite place in town. It’s an art deco style gorgeously appointed and thoughtful place. The rooms were stunning with massive bathrooms, the staff was beyond helpful, and the three houses that make up the property give it such charm. I wish I could vote this higher.

Luxurious, quiet, wonderful service, great bar and terrace… we can’t say enough about Zelda Dearest. Staying there was a welcome break from chain hotels during college touring. We felt pampered and relaxed. Don’t pass this gem up!
