Fun and dog friendly
I was taking a road trip back home and wanted to visit my friend in on the way. Staying in this hotel was like staying in absolute luxury the food was amazing and the view from my room was immaculate. The room was clean the bathroom was big and fancy. My dog also had a great time conning the front desk ppl into giving her all of the treats

Staff was excellent.
Hotel property is a nice mix of new and old historic hotel.
More attention needs to be given to cleanliness: bathroom vanity, floors, bar top in breakfast area and outside perimeter.

My fiancée and I had a wonderful stay at the Surety! We were in town to see the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas show at the Civic Center. The Surety is within walking distance to the Civic Center. The room was very clean and comfortable! We had dinner at the Mulberry Street Tavern inside the hotel and that was wonderful too!

Decent stay
Booked a standard room but was assigned an ADA room by hotels.com. I messaged to hotel and was told that I would get a regular room but when I checked in I was still in an ADA room. Had to pay $40 extra to get into a room since they were out of standard rooms. Hotel was nice, rooms were very pretty. Bed was hard. They did have a fan available since we forgot out which was super awesome. We opted for on street parking since it was $25 a nigh in the lot.

Phenomenal hotel. We really enjoyed it. The only complaint we would have is the rooms could use more lighting. It was rather dark.
