Very unique decor and hotel. Liked that we could walk around. Our room wasn't super clean. We didn't have enough towels and the conditioner was full but the pump didn't work. The mini fridge was either not working or didn't get cold and all of the shelves had been taken out and were thrown in a cabinet, like they knew it wasn't working but didn't bother to fix it. Saw signs for ice machine and kept following them but never found it. Just over all not what we were expecting for what we paid for one night.

Cool but needs better service

Interesting property, cool vibe but lacking in great service and information. Didn't ever learn where the gym was, coffee shop experience was less than great. Food was good but very slow and the time factor was not addressed when I ordered it.

It is the same hotel as the graduate. They haven't made any changes except for the name. I did not like that. I had to pay $12 a night for parking. I didn't realize that until I got there. Just add it to the room price and don't buckle and dime me. Room was fine and clean just seemed a little dated.
