We've stayed here several time before. The downtown location is great close to many businesses and restaurants. One block from the 16th Street free shuttle route. The suite rooms have a small or full size refrig and microwave which is good for several day stays. Starbuck's is on the street level along with a sandwich shop.

There are meeting rooms in the lower level where the breakfast area is located. We've used there rooms for off-site meetings and 20 person training sessions.

I've stayed here a few times for work related events, and I really love this hotel. If you can, book a fireplace suite; they're spacious and have a beautiful gas fireplace that really adds charm. The regular rooms are pretty big as well, and the bathrooms in both the regular room and the suite are way above average, in my opinion (big soaker tubs). There are some great little touches, besides the fireplace suites, that make this hotel special: a nightly reception with free beer and wine, a late night cookie buffet and a free buffet breakfast. It's a small, cozy hotel in a terrific location. Beware the $26 valet fee, but if you can stomach it, it's super convenient. There are less expensive places to park all around the hotel, though, so you have lots of options. You can walk to the 16th Street Mall from here, as well as many of the area's best restaurants, but if walking isn't your thing, or if, like me, you wear 4" heels when you go out, you can easily grab a taxi right outside the doors of the hotel. This hotel is a great value...don't hesitate to book it!

This was my first time at the Magnolia and I loved it. I chose it as much for the price as for the location and free breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary happy hour as well as cookies and milk every night! The staff was very helpful in giving recommendations as needed, rooms are clean and comfortable and I don't think the price can be beat.

I stayed in a fireplace suite last January. All in all I had an average experience. The hotel shuttle was either out of service or unavailable and the one time it was sent to pick me up, it picked up someone else and I was left waiting in the cold until I called and they said they had already picked me up. Fortunately they at least covered the cost of the cab back. The room was pretty chilly even with the fireplace on. Staff was average friendly, but for a supposed luxury hotel, I would expect better customer service. I don't think I'd recommend this hotel to others.
