Zelda Dearest is charming in every way. Walking into the building feels like coming home. The room was well stocked, delightfully decorated and incredibly comfortable. The staff was above and beyond lovely to interact with and very helpful. The location is an easy walk to downtown. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay.

Everything about this hotel went above and beyond our expectations! It operates more like a bed and breakfast. Each room is uniquely decorated and housed in a historic house. We stayed in the Rosalind, which is the one with the bar and breakfast room. The place was immaculate, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the location was absolutely perfect- just one block from the famous Orange Peel music venue and an easy walk to everything downtown. The breakfast really went above and beyond, with fresh pastries, frittatas, and fresh juice and coffee. And the entire staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Highly suggest the Zelda dearest!

Our room was located right over the maintenance area. Didn't get much last night there because of the garage door opening and closing, and all the noises with maintenance area beneath us.
