The front desk staff was lovely as well as the staff in the lodge room. We needed to borrow a blanket and pillow for orientation and that was provided without as issue. The location is great - walkable to everything on campus and Five Points. We will be back in August and in the future.

As an artist myself, I found the hotel beautifully and creatively presented. There was something delightful everywhere one looked. There was, however, no sacrifice of comfort for style. The important elements were all good except for not having a coffee maker in the room. We were very comfortable but craving caffein.

Great stay! Cute decor. My two negatives:there are not enough towels in the bathroom and the pillows were not comfortable (to me). We had two rooms & they both only had 3 towels for a room designed for four people. The staff was friendly.
