The bed had flees and the hotel 100% refused to pick up the phone after hours. If you lose your door code you will have to sleep on the street or find another hotel. Again, they refuse to pick up the phone after hours and they dont have staff in the lobby after hours. Pick another hotel, I promise this will save you a ton of frustration and bug bites.

We were very pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Rathbone Mansions! We walked around the area every day and easily caught an uber home in the evenings. The suite was very roomy and the bed was super comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Staff was great, room was nice. I did not book parking in time so we had to park on the street which was okay but could get crowded at night. We still found parking within the area. The bed was a little hard, but for a quick 2-night stay, it was ok. The staff was wonderful!

The best sleep I've ever had. The location was great, you could walk everywhere the rooms were amazing, staff was friendly and good Lord that comfortable bed just made the trip. It's been a while since I've been so happy with a hotel! The restaurant down the street Lil Dizzy's had some delicious food.
