I loved the “Palm Springs retro vibe.” It was well-appointed, clean and nicely decorated without too much fuss. I prefer properties like this as opposed to the huge corporate hotels!

Centrally located. Super nice / friendly staff. Only instant coffee available - ewww. Bed was lumpy. Parking area is really small. Cars hot-rod on this Street.

The vibe was cute but quiet hours from 10pm to 9am when people need to get ready for work is wild. If you like zero frills and just need a bed (and not a very good one)? It'll do, but wasn’t really worth it to me. The parking was terrible as well.

Its a cute cozy place to stay. Checking in/out is easy. The room was clean & comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable as well. Hiwever, if you're a light sleeper this may not be the place for you. Although you cannot hear your neighbors, you can definitely hear the street. I always travel with my sleep ear plugs so that helped out. I liked the nearby eatery options all within walking distance and having a mini fridge was nice. Parking is limited, but there are nearby options if needed. Overall, when I visit again I would stay there.
