8.2/10 Very Good! (291 reviews)
The property has obviously wear and tear but there was a solid attempt to make updates. Overall, it’s clean but feels old. The team was kind and welcoming. The free breakfast actually exceeded my expectations! I would have given it 4 stars BUT there were obvious stains on the blankets and pillow cases. We had 5 rooms, and 3 out of the 5 had issues. It’s gross. Probably should just throw them away even if they are clean.

Boutique hotel. Lovely decor. I loved that we did not have to check in a a front desk. Just out the code in and enter the building. Great communication via text from the hotel. The lounge downstairs was great too. Super clean too!
