While our stay was a short 12 hours. We loved the unique decor. The ease of check in was so nice with our late
11 pm arrival. Location is excellent just minutes from the Great American ballpark. We will definitely return.
I stumbled upon The Pickle Factory…it is an 8 unit individualized themed apartment/vrbo that was in a pretty nice area that is all either renovated or being renovated. Definitely an easy walk to the stadium and was pretty close to a few restaurants, bars and coffee shops. I don’t know what the other rooms are like but the one we stayed in was called The Aristocrat and was very cool!

So glad you enjoyed your stay, Michael! We welcome you back any time!
We enjoyed our stay. When we booked, we didn’t realized it was a 2 bedroom. It was a little bigger than we needed for the two of us. It was a beautiful place and we enjoyed the neighborhood around!
What a cool old building! We loved the whole place, the furnishings and the antiques. It felt like we took a step back in time. It was very quiet and easy to get to all the places we wanted to go. We would definitely stay here again and bring the rest of the family.
The rooms were absolutely gorgeous and the beds incredibly comfortable. We had a slight issue at check-in in that the rooms were only 56 degrees. We attempted to contact management to help figure out the wall-mounted heating devices but didn't get a response. We eventually were able to turn up the temperature and after about 4 hours the rooms were warm enough to relax in. Thankfully there were plenty of bars and restaurants around to enjoy while the space was warming.
The developer/design team did a phenomenal job. Beautiful renovation of building. Lots of character maintained. Ac was ice cold, dark room and blackout drapes everyone slept late. Keyless entry from street/room for safety. Wet bar area w/ stove top, microwave and mini fridge was great. Parking close. Walkable restaurants/bar/LaRossa pizza( if from out of town, very good). Next time come home for a visit, will definitely book again
