“This hotel is thoroughly charming. The customer service was great, staff were great and flexible. It is not for those who want modern fixtures, or a simple box built in the last 10 years. Things creak and bump. It has however been operating since 1896. EIGHTEEN NINETY FREAKING SIX. F Scott Fitzgerald lived here as a child for a few years. It is awash in local history and just…charm. The neighborhood is worth a visit alone. Lots of stuff is...”

“Everyone at the front desk was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond. I loved the history of the building but with that came dated accommodations. The location though was amazing, can't complain about being next to a 24hr Walgreens and plenty of places to eat a drink just a few blocks away.”
“The Lennox Hotel was very clean, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, and it’s a great stay if you love historical buildings. Alex at the front desk was great!”
Good to know before you stay.
