cozy room

delicious breakfast

would go back in flash

The cozy Queen Room had air conditioning, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom. Loved the comfy linens and free toiletries. Woke up to delicious breakfast pastries and coffee. The location is perfect for a walk around the park and downtown eateries. Spa facilities looked inviting but I couldn't try them. Would recommend for sure.

historic bar

disorganized check-in

messy common areas

Historic bar area with engaging social atmosphere.

The check-in process was disorganized and unwelcoming. We arrived to find the place messy, with leftovers from breakfast still lying around. The owner’s indifference towards our issues during our stay was disappointing.

disappointing experience

The Argus Hotel is a charming spot with beautifully restored architecture and a cozy bar. Safe neighborhood by Washington Park enhances the stay, offering lovely walking trails. However, the bar was closed during my visit, which was disappointing. Overall, a unique experience over traditional hotels.

charming stay with room for improvement

The remodeled mansion offered unique decor and a cozy atmosphere that made our stay special. Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast pastries which were always fresh! The garden view was a highlight, allowing us to relax while taking in the scenery.

Check-in felt unorganized.

staff responsiveness

Staying in the Deluxe King Suite for two nights offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful woodwork and a cozy bar featuring excellent cocktails. The location next to the park made for quiet evenings, although it would have been better if the staff had streamlined the check-in process for a more welcoming arrival. I also noted some issues with the communication during my stay, which detracted from the overall experience. However, complimentary breakfast pastries and fruit were a delightful touch, enhancing the stay significantly.
