Great location

The location was great, but the AC was super loud in our room and we didn't sleep great. Breakfast was sparse but adequate.

I have stayed at this hotel previously, I do business in the area and the location was convenient for it. I liked that they a deal with a local gym a block away for guests to use it . The rooms were are clean and modern. The restaurant is ok. It was good deal for its price. This time when I there the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, a microwave caught fire, not serious, but a lot of smoke and guests had to evacuate their rooms. The staff basically had no idea what to do, at one point they all seemed to hide in room behind the front desk. There was no communication or direction from them at all, finally one young man on staff, who didn’t seem to be charge, but saw the need to give the guests some information and started to. The hotel manager and owner need to train the staff, ridiculous the way the staff acted during a life safety event.

The property is so nicely appointed. A very cool boutique hotel. The rooms are very comfortable. The staff could be a little friendlier but overall a good experience. Particularly like the s’mores each evening 😊

Breakfast was late 3 out of 5 days, it is 40 per night to park and 30 per night for amenities, so 70 per night plus tax above your quoted hotel rate

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The hotel is very cool and worth staying at. The only things we would have liked to have seen are little stuff like maybe replacing the mirror instead of gluing the crack in it and having AC would have been nice.

The door to the bathroom doesn’t close all the way. The tub is uneven and makes creaky sounds when you move around the tub. The grout around the toilet is disgusting. We stayed in room 524 and I don’t think that’s a VIP room.

I love the staff. Lu'kas had the greatest smile to great me. Felt totally safe. Secured parking. To go to room you had to use your room card on the elevator. There pizza was great. The only I recommend is have a better breakfast. I stayed at an equally rated hotel. They gave out tickets for the breakfast that included a cook making fresh eggs.
