This was the most unique hotel experience. They left a beautiful note for us. The room was small, but we focused on the experience of it and how uniquely decorated it was. We really enjoyed our time there and even the halls were an experience to walk through. The lobby was just perfect with its fun decor.

The Hotel was clean but I was very disappointed with the size of the room. It was VERY small and felt very claustrophobic due to the dark decor and the small size of the room and the FAKE WINDOW! there was hardly any room to put our bags down on the floor. I feel like the price was expensive in comparison to the spacious rooms I am used to for that price.
