This was a great centrally located stylish hotel. Went with a friend to a concert in the area. Room was clean with a great view of downtown. We enjoyed the bar in the evening and the snack stand. Definitely would stay again!

Stay somewhere else. I’ve never had a room that literally looked like it was falling apart. The bathroom door would get stuck and not even close properly, there was makeup stains all over the glasses in it room, no trash bags in the trashcan, the seal on the shower door was falling off so water was everywhere, toilet paper holders couldn’t even hold the toilet paper, the couches had weird dust all over it. There room was a total disaster. Last time we had 0 issues. After this start I won’t be staying here again.

Although I was a little confused looking for the lobby because is it is really on the second floor, I had a wonderful stay. The place was really clean and smelled great. They are really pet friendly.

Oh, I love the place. It was very up-to-date. Aesthetically pleasing only thing is you can hear the people above you walking other than that. It’s a great location at the restaurant. That’s really good across the street. Me and my best friend is definitely booking again.
