Place was super clean and really cool…vintage!! Only negative is when you get there you have to call the front desk to be buzzed in. Also parking is a little difficult unless you stay on the weekends and you can just park on the street.

Our stay was wonderful. A little confusion on checking in. We thought there would be an attendant, but with the phone number provided at the front desk, we quickly were speaking with the person in charge. Our keys were in a lock box, with information and coupons for breakfast. The room was extremely spacious including the bathroom, with a glorious shower. Location was perfect for downtown activities. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was very nice the room what’s better than expected the staff were very nice. My only issue was I ordered a room with a pullout couch and I got an email the night before confirming everything and as I read it, they were going to charge me an extra $40 if I wanted to have sheets put on the pullout couch in the room I’ve already paid for….
