    cozy room
    delicious breakfast

    would go back in flash

    The cozy Queen Room had air conditioning, 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.

    The a double room was new-fashioned, had climate control and multi-channel television. It included a comfortable bed and a private bathroom. The location was comfortable, overlooking garden. And its not too far from fairy Sichuan cuisine, ate there once or twice😃😃

    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 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. The bar was closed during my visit . A unique experience over traditional hotels.

    cozy atmosphere
    disorganized check-in

    charming stay with room for improvement

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

    Check-in felt unorganized.

    communication issue

    The argus hotel & cocktail lounge has charming decor and a good ambiance. The breakfast selection exceeded my expectations, especially the pastries. Easy access to nearby parks and restaurants makes it a convenient spot.

    beautiful hotel
    cozy bar
    check-in confusion
    communication issues
    staff responsiveness

    Staying in the Beautiful King Suite for two nights offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, with beautiful woodwork and a cozy bar with 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 cute arrival. I also noted some issues with the communication . Complimentary breakfast pastries and fruit were a good touch.
