This is a old building that has been renovated into a hotel. You won't find modern conveniences like at a Marriott but it's fine for a casual stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. But the breakfast staff were very slow in taking orders, bringing out food, and getting receipts. We were made late one morning because they were really taking it easy. Bartenders were much more efficient.

Wonderful stay. Ulysses Hotel is very well appointed and comfortable. Blooms bar is not the greatest, questionable hiring tendencies. Would recommend the stay.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Ulysses for Memorial Day weekend. The staff were wonderfully helpful and inviting. The property is charming and design well thought out, if sparse. The Queen bed rooms are very small and I wish there was a better closet/wardrobe situation. If my stay was longer than 3 days, I'd be very annoyed with living out of my suitcase. All that said, what I absolutely adored was how dark the room stayed with blinds and curtain closed. I didn't need my eye mask to block the light of daybreak creeping in around the edges of the curtains as is typical. I LOVED THAT! There isn't room service and aren't any "open late" food spots nearby. As such, I wished the restaurant menu offered more than elevated snacks and bites but their sourdough bread during breakfast was delicious.

The hotel is done like an old house--dark walls and quilts. It is very pretty. I was able to rest there, but the room I was in was very dark and had little lighting to help with that. It does not have a full restaurant--only appetizer like foods. The food is good, but sometimes, I just want a meal in the hotel. All in all, it is fine.

Very disappointing

Unfortunately. I thought I registered for cancellation insurance and had not. My son was unable to attend his master’s graduation as he had a work conflict. My reservation was to attend the graduation at an local college and as he would not be attending, I looked to cancel. After speaking with the manager, she would not refund my $307. I paid for a stay that I did not use…. Very disappointing

Love the property and the staff was very nice and helpful. My only issue: the lighting for the ambiance of the hotel was very dark. The elevator was dark. the common areas were dim. I am elderly and need to see where I am walking. Also not a good choice for a handicapped individual.

aside from the super friendly staff, all three bars offered delicious cocktails and exceptional service. we stayed in one of the queen variant rooms, the view was so beautiful, it felt safe, the vibe was cozy, comfy, the entire hotel was kept clean throughout our entire 5 day stay, and we are definitely coming back and upgrading for that claw tub -just for the experience.

Comfy bed, sassy decor

The bed was super comfortable! The room was small and the lighting very dim, so not great if you're trying to do work or sit at a desk -- but the bed is great, the shower is great, and everything was very clean. Quirky decor, which I found fun. Great location, very cool bars downstairs. Would definitely return.

A couple of items I would address is that there be a Handicap access a ramp plus the doors to the hotel are very hard to open. Ash Bar would also need looking into as as far as increasing the staff for breakfast (food was wonderful, but seemed shortage of staff plus took a long time for order to come out for breakfast period, a good45 minutes for 5 guests wishing to have breakfast. Zeo and Front Desk Personnel WERE GREAT AND A CREDIT TO THE ULYSSES Hotel and should be commended for their OUTSTANDING PATIENCE AND taking Care of Customers, and CUSTOMER SERVICE Professionalism.

Rooms were ridiculously small for money and lighting was horrible. Way way overpriced for what rooms offered. I doubt I will ever stay here again. Staff was nice but overall nothing explained about parking which is somewhat of a hassle(offsight).
