Great location. Housekeeping staff super nice. only thing that deterred from a 5 star experience was one of the guests had a dog that kept on barking well into the night (like 1130 pm). We were all already in bed and was too tired to call the front desk (wasn't sure how they would deal with it anyway)...

We arrived very late and only spoke with the concierge, but check-in was easy and the hotel felt cute, clean, and safe. We’d definitely stay here again. Our neighbors were a bit rambunctious late into the night, but the front desk let us know a college soccer team was staying, so that likely explains the noise. Next time we’ll request a second-floor room, though the first floor was incredibly convenient. Overall, a great stay! We will be back.
