Didnt stay at the hitel but visited the newly opened listening bar. What a welcome experience. Relaxing with a couple drinks and listening to a mix of smooth music and of course conversations were really nice.
I struggle writing this review because while we liked certain aspects of the stay/hotel they were some things I wanted to note that surprised us. The location is perfect, it's easy to find and parking is easily accessible. Once we arrived we got to the rooms and couldn't figure out which one was actually ours because they're numbered 1-5 and our reservation didn't indicate what number we had. I called the manager and left a voicemail asking but never heard back our entire stay even though the reservation notes indicated to call or text if needed since there is no staff on site. We ended up just going down the hall putting our code in each door until we found our own. The rooms are fantastic, they're clean and comfortable and I love the vibe of each room. Directly outside the rooms is a full bar that opens at 4 and goes until what we thought was midnight but ended up being closer to 1AM. They're open to the public and it gets packed so be prepared for a lot of people in the hallway and standing outside your room. It is loud and while we did find earplugs the hotel provided just be prepared for how loud it will be and how long into the evening it goes. Even once closing the staff cleaning up was chatting as normal until about 2:30AM and you could hear all of those conversations as well. All that said, the bar has an incredible cocktail menu and the bartender and other staff were all extremely friendly so if you stay here definitely grab a drink to try. Overall though we liked Refuge, the rooms were comfortable and nice but there were just a few things we encountered that we weren't expecting that contributed to a lower star rating.
Had a great time at Refuge! I absolutely loved the ambiance and the staff was amazing! The surrounding neighborhood has many gems as well. I highly recommend staying at Refuge - such a fun getaway!
The location was great and the place was clean. It felt very odd, though, arriving to a dark and empty building to check in on a Saturday. It looked like the bar is closed for good, but they're strangely still advertising cocktails outside. The guest room was ok, though I didn't love the bare concrete floor. The highlight is definitely all the places in walking distance (check out Snooze), then head over to Optimist Hall. A good home base for exploring!
Had an amazing night out and stay at the refuge. The entire place was such a vibe and was perfect for a mini get away! Super clean, well organized, and super easy to access/check in! Definitely on our list to revisit!
