Had a dirty towel in the basket in my room and the elevator was broken which meant walking up six floors. The wifi also didn’t work for a majority of the morning.

The first I noticed when I checked in was the elevator wasn't working. I asked when it would be fixed and was told a couple months. I don't walk well, especially climbing stairs, so that was a major problem but Angel at the front desk was able to help fix that problem. She's a great employee and needs to be complimented. A refrigerator in the room would certainly help. The beds were fantastic. The majority of the front desk employees other than Angel need to be retrained. When a customer approaches the front desk they need to be acknowledged which rarely happened. The bar staff, especially Jason, were fantastic and food was great. Only thing that needs work on is the front desk and the elevator.

When we arrived, it was a bit late, but our room was ready. Unfortunately, the elevator had been out of service for over a month, and our room was on the 5th floor. This should have been mentioned in the description before booking. The shower had two glass doors, which made it a little inconvenient to close properly. Since it wasn’t aligned with the toilet, water splashed outside the shower area. On the positive side, the staff were very friendly, the bartenders were great, and both the rooms and corridors smelled wonderful. We didn’t use public transportation, but Uber was very reasonably priced. Overall, if the elevator is working, I would definitely stay here again.

The property was nice, staff were nice and helpful. The elevator was not working and we were on the 5th floor. It was a surprise to us since there was no notice beforehand. Other than us having to climb so many stairs, the rooms were clean and very comfortable!

Cute hotel, fun rooms. Elevator was out and had to hike 4 floors. Major inconvenience considering the high room rate. A free glass of house wine doesn’t quite cut it to compensate.

Room was clean and hotel was conveniently located. Elevator was out of service during our stay, but amenity fees were waived as a result. Cleaning staff threw away a friend's toiletries left in the bathroom while cleaning the room for the day, no compensation was given other than cheap replacements. Cleaning staff began vacuuming the halls at 9-10pm on our second night which woke us up. The reservation stated there would be a safe in our room, there was no safe in the room. When these concerns were brought up to the front desk, I was offered to be put on an email chain explaining our concerns to someone else, which I was never even put on. The first front desk staff member was very kind and held our bags during the day before check in. Overall, for the price, decent enough. I wouldn't stay here again.
