Cosmopolitan Hotel & Restaurant

Cool place, but no restaurant and harmed to figure out how to check in. A better stay for someone on vacation.

A lovely room in a cozy hotel with a ton of ambiance. It's the 1870s, but with indoor plumbing and wifi!

This was an amazing place with an incredible nostalgia. We got there at midnight the first night because of a late flight. One of the members of the family who owned this place, showed up at the gate and let us in. When you get there, you get a key to open the gate into the garden area. The rooms are old, but designed with a lot of charm. We had the bathroom with the pinewood tub. The entire experience was five stars. If you’re looking for brand new and shiny sparkly, this is not your place. If you’re looking for an antique setting in an amazing location, then you’ve found your spot.

I rarely have anything negative to say about a lodging because I understand that most places do try hard. But I need to offer some suggestions for Cosmo management. First, the "historically correct" furniture in the room was unusable. The cushions and padding on the chairs and couch were painfully uncomfortable. We brought in the wooden chairs from outdoors for something to sit on. Surely, when Mr. Seeley had the furniture brought around the Cape Horn by ship, the padding and cushions were the best he could buy. So to be historically correct, the padding and cushions should be just as comfortable as when Mr. Seeley was sitting on them. A trip to a local upholstery shop could restore the furniture's usefulness to guests, without compromising the historical appearance. Second, while the clawfoot bathtub was quaint and historic, there were no grab bars to assist in entering and exiting the tub. I know Mr. Seeley did not have these either, but you would think a basic safety feature like grab bars could be added and made to look "historic." Modern guests shouldn't have to risk compound fractures in order to bathe. I'm surprised that the local city codes don't require grab bars. The room does have smoke detectors and I'm certain that Mr. Seeley didn't have those either. Third, some minor things like the loosely attached toilet seat and the room's door not latching could be fixed.

Would definitely stay here again.

it was quiet it looked old and dingy. Beds uncomfortable.

This was a fun and great experience! The hotel is currently undergoing some changes so it wasn't open we had to call someone to let us onto the property and check us in. Which only added to the experience. The room was old but just what we needed for our short stay. No hauntings but we'll be back soon so maybe they'll say hello next time!

Loved the location and the history of the building and all the spooky tales. Room was cute and clean, staff was so friendly. My only complaint has to be the bed, it wasn't that comfortable. Although, I appreciate the plastic around the mattress, the bed itself wasn't very comfortable.

👍

Great location for train/bus travelers because it is just across the street from a major transit hub. The Old Town Park was very nice, lots of things to do and see. The room itself was fine. The breakfast was pretty much non-existent; just chocolate chip scones, mini croissants, coffee and tea. The least they could have added was cereal! How about some fruit? There is NO cleaning while you have the room, NO ONE comes to make the bed, refresh towels, etc. Checking in is confusing because there is NO ONE at the hotel, you have to call the number on the sign outside to get checked in. This is something that you should know BEFORE you reserve a room. Also, be aware that the park is very close to the I5 freeway and therefore noisy late into the night.

This hotel is so beautiful and well maintained for being a historical site! I absolutely loved the courtyard area with the sitting area and gorgeous plants. Everything was nice and clean. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. Just the vibe of the hotel alone was magical. Our bed was comfortable. The staff were great and check-in and out was very simple and fast. The parking situation was difficult when we arrived for check-in. The listing said it included free parking but we had to keep circling around the small parking lot to snag a spot. It seemed all the tourists have access to the same parking lot. I wish they had their own separate parking for guests only. Also, I didn't find any drinking water available in the hotel during the night.

I only stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel for one night, but I enjoyed my time there. It has a unique theme a decor. Moreover, though I arrived after normal check-in time, the staff arranged a creative work-around to assist me. Some of the furnishings did show obvious wear-- not enough to make them less useful, but enough to be noticeable.

The location was difficult to find using Google maps because the property is not located on a specific road.

I was very happy. All of the staff provided great hospitality

Difficulty contacting staff on arrival

Very clean very good breakfast also great place definitely will be going back

The wifi worked great. Everything from restaraunts, shopping, museum tours, all walking distance. No car needed

Lovely breakfast (that I didn't expect) of scones and coffee. It is actually part of the museum village old town. We had a lovely room overlooking the old town square, with chairs on the veranda. There wasn't a reception and all doors were locked, one had to call the owner - but my phone didn't work. Once we got through everything was fine. The saloon downstairs wasn't open. Sniff.

Room was close to airport and harbour. Ample parking. And it did have an elevator to get to 2nd floor! Main road noise, plane noise, train noise. Choice of food - Mexican or nothing. Look, this was an 1880 style room with 1880 furnishings, SAVE hot & cold water, a modern shower and electricity. No fridge, TV, microwave, standard chair(s) and desk/table - the items you'd find in a modern motel. ONLY stay here if you are a history buff and want to actually "live" in 1880. Like I expected Granny & Jed from Beverly Hillbillies to appear any moment! Unfortunately I did not grasp this concept from the Booking Selection, and thought it was a 2.5 star motel on a street in an "Old Town" area.

Everything! The host was friendly and informative. Rooms were clean and felt comfortable. The surrounding area has great shops and food. There is free coffee and pastries in the morning and actually fresh and delicious. The tub is large and that was the best shower I have ever used. Everything about it this place is incredible. Wifi was not that good.
