It’s a sweet little hotel and a great spot for shopping. It’s walkable too many great restaurants, etc. I was charged for something at the minibar, but I never touched the minibar. Luckily, they reverse the charge, but I had to argue it for a while. Also, I had a do not disturb on the door and asked the cleaners not to come in until I left, but they kept trying to push their way in and woke me up. Hopefully, next time that won’t happen.

A little disappointed this time

This is our second stay here. I don't know what was wrong with the bed but the mattress was so bouncy that when your partner turned over you woke up from being bounced. It was not like this in the first room we had from our last stay. Also, the corners of the platform the mattress was on stuck out so far that we kept hitting our shins, it was painful! One last thing, the fan was not able to be turned off on the heater so it was on all night and was either too cold or too hot. My husband couldn't sleep with the constant sound of the fan. We were able to put it on low, but it was on whether the room was being heated or not. It was disappointing. Also, the coffee they put out in pump pots in the morning was not hot, barely warm. We were told the coffee would be put out at 7:30 a.m.. It was there at 7:15 a.m. and was already luke warm. This was a totally different experience we had than the first time we stayed here. I have to say the parking attendant was amazing, as he was the firist time here and so was their maintenance man. He did not speak English, but he was super friendly and was really sweet about it when I tried to speak some Spanish to him. He was the same exact way the last time here. He's a super guy! The woman at the front desk was very helpful and nice, too.

I like the uniqueness of the property (very nice courtyard), the proximity to the Grove and Farmers market, and the offer of sparkling water when I arrived (such a nice, simple gesture!) but the parking was a hassle and the road noise( a fact of life in the big city) was a turn-off

Great trendy little hotel with jazz music playing in the lobby and beautiful courtyard, with little extras like citrus water in the lobby and a coffee bar set up in the courtyard in the morning. Great place to stay! However, because the in-room heating system is the original to the building, expect noise when it is running. You get used to it though and don’t need it running much.

The front desk staff (female) was very unfriendly and had a terrible attitude. I live walking distance from this hotel and often book for this hotel for business associates but I did not realize how bad the customer service was until this very last reservation when I accompanied my client to check in.
