Boutique beauty
An old hotel property that has been revamped into a boutique beauty! Totally chill vibe: unpretentious, casual, and fun. Loved the social outdoor area and live music (on a Monday night!). Bartender John gets special mention for outstanding mixology, and the food was excellent too!

No AC & No TV & TINY Bathrooms
This hotel has a serious AC problem. I’ve stayed at Arrive Hotel many times so I’ve experienced many of their rooms. The AC lets you set it to as low as 65 but it’s just an illusion because the actual AC will not go below 72 degrees. The rooms are humid (because of no AC) and you will be very uncomfortable. The TV is there for looks only and no channels work. The bathrooms are laughably small. I thought New York had small rooms… Arrive Hotel has them beat. Very upsetting because this hotel could actually good if basic issues were fixed… but this has been an ongoing issue with Arrive Hotel. Highly recommend staying at a different hotel in the area.
AC in hotel does not work.

I love staying here! Quaint and charming. I have stayed once with my 6 year-old for a fun getaway, walkable to restaurants and drove to the aquarium. I also stayed with my husband for 2 nights and we had a great time. If “Mr. Serious” says he had a great time more than once, you know it was fun! I will absolutely recommend and be back.

This is a great small hotel ! We wanted a place close enough to a wedding that we could walk and this fit the bill. Arrive is so centrally located in the historic district that we walked to the venue in 3 minutes.The room, although small, was very clean and attractive and the bed, bedding and pillows were cozy and super comfortable. It was easy to use the valet to drop off the car and have it brought to us the next day. All the staff were very helpful and accommodating . While we did wish there was coffee in the room, as in every other property we have stayed at, there was a decent size mini fridge where we were able store our cold things. If you need a place to stay in the historic district, where you can easily walk to attractions and dining, I think you will like Arrive.
