Disliked: Amenities
This is a boutique industrial-style hotel close to the Harley Davidson museum. The beds were comfortable and the room and lobby fairly clean. However, we felt for the price, it was lacking touches which could make it a very upscale stay: A light was burned out in one of the overhead lights in our room and another light did not work at all. The staff was not rude, but not overly friendly. At breakfast in the Library (breakfast was not included with the stay), we had to ask for refills on coffee. The floors had crumbs and the dining tables had traces of previous meals. Dogs are allowed to stay and several times we could hear barking in the room next to us. Parking was not included in the stay, and not well explained on the website. We parked in the lot near the hotel for $27 per day.

The hotel is dark, dingy and dusty. The lighting is cool but gives off no light. The room was too dark to put on make up. Our room was very dusty. Curtains dusty and the air return vent filters look like they were never changed. Overall, what we could see, the hotel and rooms look and feel dingy. Chipped dishes at breakfast. The mattress and pillows seem to be as old as the building, very uncomfortable. Cool looking place, very friendly staff, and great location in Walker's Point. But, don't think we will stay there again unless we want to be in Walker's Point.

Nice place but “air freshener” in lobby area is overpowering and cheap smelling. Wouldn’t utilize that space because of it
