The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was very professional and friendly. Our only complaint was that the mini fridge in the room was very noisy, making it difficult to sleep. Everything else was great.

The location is great and central to shopping (including CVS & Target) & restaurants with parking across the street from the hotel. Check in was fast, efficient and very pleasant. The room was very basic and very clean. I came into town to see a jazz concert for one night and this hotel met my needs at a great price point.

Trendy place to stay in a good location. Parking lot across the street is convenient but $$$ $50 a night. Rooms are small, micro sized! Food and drinks from the lounge area were delish!

My room was inexpensive and overlooked the parking garage. I put the shade down and it was fine. The shower and bath were awesome. It felt like a "boutique" hotel. I had a very nice dinner at a vegan restaurant nearby. Area isn't quiet but I slept well & enjoyed myself. Wish I had taken advantage of exercise opportunities the hotel provides!

The first room I was checked into already had a woman inside of it asleep by herself. I slowly backed out of the room to not wake her up. I was very shaken and that woman could potentially sue the hotel for endangering her safety by letting a stranger into her room. There is no reason for this to have ever occurred.
