The Civilian Hotel is lovely. It has a warm ambiance matched by the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The room was clean and has everything one could need in spite of its small size. The location is convenient to theaters and restaurants. The continental breakfast has a variety of selections to meet everyone’s tastes. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, and the staff were friendly. However, I’m giving it a 4-star rating because the mini fridge in my room was not working, which meant I couldn't store my dog's food that made fresh . Additionally, I didn't receive the welcoming bed bowl or wipes that were mentioned on the website. I felt a bit disappointed, especially since I saw my friend stay with her dog and was impressed by how welcoming they were. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that same experience with my dog. Other than that, everything was good.
