What an absolute gem of a hotel! So beautifully restored yet has all the modern comforts you need. Staff is very through with information.. they take the time with you... not just quick answers. The Speakeasy called the Counting Room in Basement was fun..Sam the bartender was great, very interactive with us and very knowledgeable with area history. We will definitely stay here again!

Nice property with a great little bar to visit before you head out to the local favorites. Was quite disappointed by how poorly the room blocked noise. There was a rowdy wedding group traversing between various rooms until almost 3am. These things happen, but given the hotel's website made a point to note the brick construction made the rooms very quiet, I have to disagree. The noise came in through the door, heating system, even the conversations on the street level below were easy to make out. Was a frustrating thing because we otherwise enjoyed the experience. Very unique, particularly for the area.

My experience was amazingly wonderful. I can't say enough about how kind and welcoming my hosts Sarah and Patrick were. It was my first trip solo (EVER!) and Sarah and Patrick made it so wonderful that I can't wait to come back to the Vault to enjoy the experience again. The attention that they pay to presentation and to guest comfort was exemplary, from the perfectly scented Beekman 1802 guest amenities (I'm affected by strong scents and these were chosen just perfectly to be fresh and not overwhelming) and the over the top continental breakfast with the lovely tea collection and yummy broccoli cheese quiche to the wonderful location of the hotel amongst the interesting downtown shops and convenient guest parking. I will definitely be visiting again soon!

Sparkling clean and well worth the price! The bar on the lower level was very unique with upscale cocktails and beer, and the bartender was excellent. Hotel has no reception desk. You enter the building and use the phone on the wall to be buzzed in. Once inside a receptionist/ greeter checked us in on a marble island in the lobby. The room key also gives you access to the building. The breakfast was great and the complimentary refreshments in the lobby area was a nice touch.

Our stay was for pleasure and revisit roots. The hotel was excellent and beautifully decorated. Each floor has a name and the decor to match. Art Deco is the them in this hotel and it lived up to that! I would recommend and stay here again!

Really nice hotel I will definitely stay here again on the water side. I would have given a 5 star rating but I used all the cream and they didn’t replenish it also had to ask for another Kleenex box they just added a Kleenex flower on top also if you stay on the street side the traffic is noisy and the Black out curtains didn’t do a very good job.

What a quaint hotel with a European vibe. Comfortable bed, and nice pantry amenities. Situated downtown so you can walk to restaurants and shops. The French press coffee in the room is great in the morning.
