Modern, clean, and convenient. The rooms are nice, but the downstairs cafe is the real winner. Great coffee and delicious breakfast options (the acai bowls are a must-try!). Would definitely stay here again.

Great location for a traveler that doesn’t require a lot of hand holding as staff is rarely on site. Bathrooms are functional rather than spa-like. Thin walls provide an opportunity to learn about your neighbors without even having to meet them.

Lots of homeless people on streets in that area… but once you’re in the building it feels safe. Great and interesting rooms and decor… each room is different and each time I’ve stayed I’ve had a whole different experience. I like it and gooseberries (the restaurant downstairs.) is amazing!

This has been my Favourite! stay in quite some time. I booked the Panoramic room and was not disappointed! It is the largest room offered. Essentially a loft apartment. Watching the sunset was amazing ( I posted to my socials it was so beautiful). The next morning, I wandered down to the outdoor cafe in the lobby and treated myself to an amazing breakfast and latte. It is a quirky, funky and fabulous hotel. NOTHING ordinary about it. LOVE,LOVE,LOVE!
