We enjoyed our stay. Our only complaint was that we had a suite to sleep 6 and there were no blankets for the fold out couch. There was a pillow and a sheet that didn't fit, but no blankets.

The room was much larger than expected which was a nice surprise! It also included a kitchen which was not included in the room photos. I do suggest room photos need to be updated on the site, the surprise was nice but I would love to know what I’m booking before I book it. The woman at the front desk who checked us in was phenomenal, I wish I would have caught her name. She was super helpful. Provided us with a list of nearby dining options and also supplied us with plates for our dinner that we had ordered. She was always eager to help.

EVERYTHING was perfect, & close to the Mishler

I have stayed at this hotel maybe 5-6 times in the last several years. Walkable to the Mishler Theatre, only 2 blocks away! VERY VERY clean, and that is #1 for me. Unlike most hotels, it actually has a nice hip little bar. Modern and upscale decor in all the public areas; and the comfy bed/bedding was just perfect. Lots of pillows, lots of towels, all shower toiletries provided. I was not crazy about having to pay $25 for early check-in, but they waived it as I am sort of a regular, and it was only a half hour earlier. In the evening I had a bit of a scratchy throat, and the front desk located some salt for me to gargle with, and looked for honey also; very nice about accommodating me with these requests. Parking is great. Both in front or back, there is an entry to the hotel right there (a room card is required at the back door), and it is well-lighted. Super clean, super safe, super close to the theater, even closer to Tom &Joe’s Diner, where you can get amazing breakfasts and sandwiches (locals love it), and not far at all from a few delicious Italian restaurants. I highly recommend the Wingate! Will definitely go back.
