Weekend away
Amazing location. Weddings were going on all weekend so the hotel was very loud. Music played until after 11 at night which was very loud and we could not sleep. Kitchen shut down on Saturday during the day for the entire afternoon to “get ready for wedding.” Bar was full of people getting drinks from the wedding and there was no room. Overall I loved the location and wanted to love this place but felt like they prioritized weddings over hotel guests so would not recommend this hotel during a weekend

The property was very nice and the location is awesome! We had ants in our room, but the head of housekeeping was AMAZING and got us moved us to another room (even after the front desk said that wasn't possible). They were doing some floor repairs on our second day and it was extremely loud! I had lunch in the restaurant and the noise was so loud the staff were shouting at customers to get their orders. I understand that maintenance has to be done, but a heads up would've been nice so I could've made alternate dining plans.

Great energy in a prime location
We spent 4 nights at the Emeline and really enjoyed our stay. You are right next to the city market, carriage tours and many restaurants, bars and shopping as well as an easy stroll through historic neighborhoods. Our room was swanky with a turntable and plush velvet couch living room with separate kind bedroom. Loved it!

Amazing location and lovely hotel, but noisy
So many great aspects: free bike usage, location(!), employees, and water station. Unfortunately, our room was on the side above the restaurant and its outdoor seating. Loud music playing all day and the first night all night. We did ask that they turn it off by 11 and they were great about it for subsequent nights- but it as annoying nonetheless. Our room was very tiny too.
