We checked in late afternoon and were greeted by a friendly staff. Member who gave us good advice both on the hotel and the area. We found the room to be exceptionally clean, and the renovation work was outstanding!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room and property were clean and well kept and the staff were all helpful and friendly. The mattress and pillows were exquisite, had such a good sleep. With the bar/restaurant downstairs and other bars close by, it was noisier at night with the loud music carrying up (we were on the 5th floor). I wouldn't necessarily call it negative, just not the hotel for you in youre looking for a quiet night in your room. There is only a small amount of metered (7am-6pm) street parking available for those that dont want to spend the $25/day for gated valet. Bit of a hassle when the street parkin then gets blocked off for an event. Overall a good stay and will keep it on our list for future visits.

Won't stay here again

Older building renovated into a new, retro-type of a hotel. Room was very clean. Some staff members were friendly; some were learning. Room was "tight". Kept hitting the bed frame that was sticking out. The sink had no room to place your make-up, etc. Not a very practicable set-up. No table to sit by to eat (probably wanted us to eat in their high-priced restaurant). Pool was beautiful. Room frig was packed full of their drinks that they wanted you to buy, so no room for our cooler items. Only one, very small waste basket. No microwave. No ice machines. Breakfast was not included (had to buy at their restaurant). Had to pay for their valet parking or a parking meter.

Great, clean, friendly stay. Hip.

If you are a light sleeper, I would not stay here. There are cars and motorcycles that rev their engines about every hour. I sleep soundly and it didn't bother me, but I could see how it might bother others. There are also some homeless roaming around but none were aggressive. Other than that, my stay was great. The rom was very clean. I felt secure as there were always attendents at the front entrance (valets). The staff was friendly. Folks hung around by the pool and at the dining place downstairs. It's a chill city and I liked it.

Service was great. Room was cute. Hotel itself didn’t feel safe at night. There was a group of guys smoking and talking loudly outside my room door. They gave me a drink discount for the inconvenience. But as a solo traveler I wouldn’t return - it’s a motel feel with doors facing the loud streets.

Centrally located retro hotel is worth a stay

It was a great experience to stay in this cool retro hotel in downtown. Not far from freeway, airport and Old Town. Food was good, service was friendly. In room bottled water is a bit pricey tho.

Nice inside just noisy

It’s a cute retro motel type place with a great view and nice location. Beds were comfortable. The one problem is street noise and thin walls. They do supply earplugs which worked for me but the noise kept my daughter awake. The little restaurant had wonderful tacos and burgers and everyone was super friendly and helpful
