The entrance process was very poorly done. Had to wait for another couple, who had already checked in, to let us into the building. Room's windows were oddly positioned. Nothing left out for breakfas

This is a nice boutique hotel that has been beautifully renovated and is close to everything. You can tell that the new management has put a lot of care into the place and the experience. The check-in/check-out is seamless. But if you are looking for a traditional hotel experience - which I was not - this isn't for you. Don't expect concierge service or traditional keys/TV. Overall, a nice experience. I would recommend they insulate the doors more. At times, there's a lot of sound from the hallway, but it didn't ruin the trip.

The check in ordeal was terrible. Supposed to do everything online but they didn’t send all the information. Had to call about parking. They didn’t tell us the code to get into the building. Once we figured out how to get in there was a nice man at the desk to help us but it was a very frustrating check in. The rooms were ok. Clean but not very user friendly. I will not be going back.

Room was comfortable and clean though it was in need of upkeep. Carpet was well worn, outlet plate missing and obvious leak damage in bathroom ceiling. Hotel is conveniently located and free nitro coffee fantastic. I generally prefer these types of boutique hotels for short stays and despite the flaws I would stay here again.

I had a great stay! Really cool place. Entire check-in process was very laidback. They even had a plugin fan in room if you are a person that needs noise for a restful sleep like myself.
