Highly recommended

What an amazing place to stay. I read a lot of the reviews here and thought it sounded exactly like what I wanted. I arrived to see it was even better than I imagined. I think I've found my go-to when I'm in the area. Our room was clean and perfect. The staff were great and parking wasn't a problem.

Veeeerry Interesting!

So this is a very chill, relaxed and serene place. Not really able to compare it to anywhere we've ever stayed before. First off - it's clean. Lots of dark wood and reserved lighting. They are dialed-in regarding tech, so you can take care of most/all of your dealings (check-in/out) w/ your phone. Front office staff was polite/courteous/helpful. Rooms are not huge. Bathrooms either. But we were traveling rather light, so not a problem. Both were very clean. We didn't hear sounds from any other rooms. Important note: Parking is . . . unique. You have to navigate down a VERY narrow driveway to get to the main lot in the back of the facility. Big car? Wouldn't recommend it. You'll be on the street, I suppose. Just minutes (15) from downtown. While the neighborhood isn't totally sketch . . . . we really weren't quite sure about it. This hotel just seems a bit out of place there. The view from our second floor room was of someone's trashed backyard. Not a big issue - just close the blinds. Don't get mad at your mapping app when you get closer as the road in front is 1/4 one-way and 3/4 two-way (It's a school zone thing, apparently). Beds are comfy. A very nice place.
