I was seeking a local unique boutique hotel experience and found myself disappointed. Appreciate the natural theme, inspirational quotes and the vinyl is way fun, however in the rooms themselves minimalist crossed over to spartan detracting from the experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Check in staff was very nice. No coffee on the room means you have to wait until 0600 then walk outside in the cold to get a cup of coffee. Door to room is paper thin and all vehicles going buy sound like you are sleeping on the curb (made sense as to why there were earplugs on the bathroom counter). Bed is extra firm. Staff at the bar that is joined very slow, not friendly and apparently customer service skills not necessary (no please no thank you no smile)

We have stayed here before and liked it. The accommodations were a little basic and I expected more that was tailored to our dog who came with us. Still enjoyed it, though! The bar had great and inexpensive mocktails that I would highly recommend.

Quiet but close to everything
Loved the room, some thoughtful design and otherwise simple style was refreshing. Just don't call it continental breakfast when all you provide is instant oatmeal, okay?

Excellent with minor points for improvement
Service, location, vibe all excellent. The morning coffee and offerings were beyond my expectations, yum! My only minor complaint was the room could have used a deep clean refresh. The sink was a little slow to drain, the wall hangings were very dusty, and there was a used tissue way under the bed (we noticed when making sure we didn't leave anything behind). The kind of thing that happens over time. The room felt like it was cleaned well from the daily cleaning perspective.
