A must stay
The location is fantastic. The hotel is so clean, quiet and well lit. I appreciated the digital messaging from staff and digital check in, made it convenient. The design is hip and very well thought out, i.e. shower! The bed and bedding was very very comfortable.

Nice Location
Nice updated boutique hotel. The room met our price point for the weekend and was in a great location downtown and close to the civic center. Only complaint is no microwave.

It was a nice place. Furniture is minimal- no table to use a computer or set things down. There was one small bench. They had great beds and bedding. Not many frills but we slept well and it was quiet. Breakfast was very basic.

Hotel is nice and clean and a great location. However it is very noisy. I could hear everything happening in the other rooms around mine- from a dog barking non-stop to the conversations happing in other rooms like they were in mine.

Minor challenge for front desk person to keep services in morning breakfast area stocked(water for coffee supplied) due to multiple responsibilities for her. The hotel was near capacity due to concert the 7th, she was very pleasant only needed a few more assistance to do it all
