Overall this hotel is adorable. The queen room is pretty snug and our bathroom door wouldn’t lock but the charm made up for this.

Highly recommended

What an amazing place to stay. I read a lot of the reviews here and thought it sounded exactly like what I wanted. I arrived to see it was even better than I imagined. I think I've found my go-to when I'm in the area. Our room was clean and perfect. The staff were great and parking wasn't a problem.

Veeeerry Interesting!

So this is a very chill, relaxed and serene place. Not really able to compare it to anywhere we've ever stayed before. First off - it's clean. Lots of dark wood and reserved lighting. They are dialed-in regarding tech, so you can take care of most/all of your dealings (check-in/out) w/ your phone. Front office staff was polite/courteous/helpful. Rooms are not huge. Bathrooms either. But we were traveling rather light, so not a problem. Both were very clean. We didn't hear sounds from any other rooms. Important note: Parking is . . . unique. You have to navigate down a VERY narrow driveway to get to the main lot in the back of the facility. Big car? Wouldn't recommend it. You'll be on the street, I suppose. Just minutes (15) from downtown. While the neighborhood isn't totally sketch . . . . we really weren't quite sure about it. This hotel just seems a bit out of place there. The view from our second floor room was of someone's trashed backyard. Not a big issue - just close the blinds. Don't get mad at your mapping app when you get closer as the road in front is 1/4 one-way and 3/4 two-way (It's a school zone thing, apparently). Beds are comfy. A very nice place.
