Quick Take: A stunning, spacious property that feels like a fortress of luxury on the very edge of a gritty neighborhood.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the area safe?
The hotel itself is very secure with 24/7 staff, but the immediate block to the west is sketchy. Stick to walking east toward downtown, especially at night.
Is breakfast included?
No. The on-site bistro 'Little James' serves breakfast à la carte, but it's not free.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the outdoor pool is heated, but it is seasonal (typically open March–October).
Do they clean the room every day?
No. This is an 'Apartments by Marriott' property, so housekeeping is weekly (every 7 days).
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, but it's steep: a $150 non-refundable fee per stay, max 2 pets up to 50lbs.
Is there parking?
Valet only at the hotel for $50/night. Public garages are a few blocks away but fill up fast.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for your 'Destination Fee' sparkling wine voucher at check-in; they sometimes forget to hand it over.
- ✨
The 'Little James' cafe transforms into a cocktail bar at night—great for a nightcap without leaving the building.
- ✨
Use the free bikes to get to Forsyth Park; it's a 10-minute ride and beats walking in the humidity.
