From the moment I made the reservation until check out, my experience with the staff was phenomenal. My stay in the Honeybee Suite was for Mother's Day as a gift to myself and for a family member's birthday celebration. Upon arrive Brian welcomed Lucy, our little dog, and me with a big smile and Hello. I had spoken with Brian the day before about what I had planned and that I would be arriving with Lucy and arms full of birthday cake and overnight bags. He immediately got a luggage cart and helped me get everything to the rooftop suite. He also gave Lucy a honey bee decorated bag with dog bone snacks. Sunday afternoon brought Jordan to the front desk with her sunny smile and well wishes for an enjoyable evening as we headed out to Ballad Brewing to for local microbrews and darts. Upon check out this morning, Brian was there to greet us and we were able to meet Madison, the General Manager. She has done a wonderful job training the staff and overseeing the operation of this exquisite boutique hotel in downtown Danville.
I love properties like this. The owners have taken an old iconic building and turned it into a stunning property. Their attention to detail with design and decor is greatly appreciated. You have to wonder around the property to find all the unique features that they have preserved, such as old staircases in alcoves. The lobby areas are spacious and inviting. You can find the honeycomb shape of beehives in so many of the fixtures - tile, decorative boxes, coat hooks, the outside signage.
The Honeybee Suite is breathtaking and provides an at home feeling upon entering. The floor to ceiling doors in the living room open out onto the rooftop area. The views are incredible and you can see a number of murals on neighboring buildings.
The open floor plan, including the living room and full kitchen with its spacious island, was perfect for our small family birthday gathering. The half bath in this area is nice to keep the master bath private for the overnight guests.
The Bee Kind soap products, black makeup towel and shower handle on the opposite side of the rain shower head were small pleasures as well.
The combination of textures and colors in fixtures and furniture looked and felt as if everything is exactly as it should be in a balanced, natural setting.
I enjoyed the use of local art and photographs throughout the suite and property.
There is a beautiful public park tucked between the buildings, complete with water feature and lots of little sitting and gathering areas with brick arches and columns.
My stay was far too short, but it invigorated my soul and gave me exactly what I needed to feel like a Queen Bee for a day! read more
