Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Loved the vintage vibe of the place. The decor was cool, the room was tidy, the bed was great. A few little things were less than ideal, but nothing major. We'd have preferred not to be on the 2nd floor (hauling our luggage upstairs wasn't easy), but that wasn't an option. The noise outside was pretty loud (thank goodness for a sound machine!). The shower curtain was a little funky on the bottom. The tub didn't drain well, so I stood in ankle-deep water for my shower. The bed was positioned about 3 feet away from the wall unit air conditioner, so it was rather chilly, blowing right on us through the night. Both at check-in and check-out, the front desk was unattended, requiring a short wait. Mostly minor inconveniences, but enough that when combined, I wouldn't likely choose to stay here in the future.

Was looking for a moderately priced hotel near the airport university. This was it and it exceeded my expectations. Great staff, cute rooms and great bar area. Don’t ever judge a book by its cover.

Okay but….

Check in was great. The room had a very bad mildew odor. And it’s just all around run down.

I had such a wonderful stay here! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The ambience was warm, relaxing, and beautifully put together, exactly the kind of atmosphere you want when you’re looking to unwind. It was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway, and I can’t wait to come back!

Want to enjoy the bar and outdoor space more.

I think this place is easy n cute. But one of the cool things about the spot is the bar that is never open very late. And you’ve got a great grounds and last couple times I’ve come they’re closed. They would really be nice if you have someone on staff to keep the grounds open so we can relax outside. There are no balconies and if you wanna have a smoke or just be outside to look at the moon, I don’t feel like it’s very accessible.
