Each room is actually a full service apartment, min. 1200 sq ft. Newly renovated, it was beautiful. The microwave didn't work but Nathan went out and bought an electric kettle for the unit. The downtown location was so convenient for us to attend The Elvis Tribute Festival over the weekend. Jackie and staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

A Remarkable Find

Unbelievable hotel in a renovated Kress five and dime building. Our room was inexplicably enormous, but we'll dine out on it for months. The service was wonderful, although we had some issues with the television in the living area. For a newly opened hotel, a little strange that there were no usb ports in the room. A minor quibble for a memorable stay.

We felt sooooo spoiled.

We arrived early and they allowed us to check in. You must ring a bell for them to open the door as the building is very secure. Getting to the unit is a bit confusing, so after checking we were escorted to the unit and familiarized with all it's perks. Wonderful place. It was pouring rain when we went to leave and since the entry is not under cover, they allowed us a late checkout so we would not get soaked. Incredible Loft with 1 BR and 1.5 baths and and upstairs loft seating area/den. Luxury Robes. Huge, well stocked kitchen. Full size laundry. Huge and comfortable living room with sofa and leather chairs and footstools/seats. We really didn't want to leave the unit it was so breathtaking. I stood in the middle of the room and said over and over....I'm not leaving. It was awesome!!!! We did leave to go to the bar on the 3rd floor. We had drinks and chatted with other patrons and the friendly bar staff.

Miss Dorothy J

Disliked: Staff & service

All round - pathetic

On arrival at the hotel at approx 1830, we were advised that our room had flooded and we couldn’t stay. There was no other room free because a wedding party had booked them all. They said they had tried to contact our mobile - checked the number and it was correct. We had no missed calls but they seemed surprised it was an overseas number. The staff did help us find an alternative place to stay in Darien as the hotels beside them were full as there had also been a festival on that day. They did check we were happy with the increased price as it was approx $38 more. As guest house owners ourselves, we would have been legally obliged to book somewhere else at an equal or better standard for our guests if this situation had arisen. We would also have been liable to pay the difference in costs. On contacting Hotels.com, they have confirmed that the hotel also get our contact email but again they failed to contact us. Very unprofessional and we are extremely dissatisfied with both Hotels.com and the hotel itself for not rectifying this situation.

I thoroughly enjoyed my entire stay, so much, that I booked an additional night. This was a birthday visit and the staff went above and beyond, even the staff at 1509 as well with a 15% discount on dinner as guests of the kress, free Rock climbing as a guest right next door to the Kress, first Friday celebration, brunch at Reid's Apothecary down the street, the farmers market at Mary Ross Park, shopping on Newcastle, enjoying one of the park areas near the hotel...I felt so very special. The Kress is my go to luxury hotel every year for my birthday!
