Pros-The location is great & the astethics are wonderful. I love the openness of the staff & facilities. The coffeshop is adorable. The cons- the auto light went out while i was in the shower. In hindsight, i think the towel was blocking my movement before i went in. Also, our bed wasn't made or our room cleaned. We had to call down for sheets & towels. I should have asked for a new room but didn't notice our bathroom wasn't cleaned until later. But it's a cute hotel, maybe we just had bad luck. Everything else is great.

Conveniently located; front desk person was amazing and offered us a room with a view. The lobby is beautiful, the bed was comfortable. The bathroom could use some updating; the shower curtain did not close all the way. For $165 a night, it would be nice if the hotel offered at least a self-serving station of coffee and cream in the morning.
