I liked the decor of the hotel and room. I liked that I was able to check in early and get a room. I like that I could get around on foot to some places. I had an issue with cleaning staff entering my room and going through my closed suitcases when I brought it to managements attention they offered me coffee and since stated I was leaving in the morning it shouldn’t be a problem letting them know not to return to my room. Very frustrated and feel upset about that situation and management did not respond properly.

We really loved the hotel, staff and location and have absolutely no complaints except for the bathroom. There is really no privacy for a couple sharing one of the rooms. Even the shower pressure is great! But I think that folks should know about the bathroom situation before they book. It’s a small iced glass area that is in the bedroom, not a separate room. Perfect for a solo traveler, though!

Property is clean and very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was too small. Nice decor and all but not functional. Bed was placed between walls, against the window where there's no room to move around. My wife and I stayed. The room was not even suitable for one person.

Loved everything about this hotel except for the room. The standard king room feels like a travel trailer. Very long, bed is at end of room & you have to crawl over/around partner to get out of the bed (I’m too old for that) because the bed is attached to wall. On flip side, staff great, bar/lobby awesome, drinks/apps great, decor very cool. Great location/walkable. Would stay again only get a different room.
