Great place to stay and very easy self check-in. My only complaint is the bathroom door has a large gap in it so there isn’t enough privacy while going to the bathroom.

Unique and eclectic but not worth $250/night
The hotel is very unique but definitely not worth $250/night: the bed was incredibly hard (my fiancé and I didn’t sleep well and woke up each morning with stiff backs) and the pillows were so soft they didn’t offer any support (we woke up with stiff necks).
While the place was clean, the communal kitchen needed needed quite a bit of restocking—from coffee pods, tea bags and oatmeal to cereal spoons, tea cups and coffee cups (we had to wait until other guests finished their coffees so we could wash out their cups and make coffee for ourselves).

Unique Bay View gem
Comfortable, well appointed rooms near an active restaurant scene. Loved the quiet solitude and ease of self entry. Limited parking in back. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Great location, clean, but lots to improve on
Location was great.
There are a LOT of steep stairs to get up.
Here are things to note:
Middle outlet needed between beds.
No desk in room to work from and wifi was incredibly slow, basically unusable.
Barn door not covering completely bathroom, so not sealed and you can see in and out.
Blinds in our room weren’t flush with the window.
Shared areas, nice that you get a spot in the frig since there isn’t one in the room.
Laundry room was mess, the washers were full of towels and bedding was all in the ground so you couldn’t really walk in. They also use scented detergent for sheets/towels, so not great for someone with allergies.
English breakfast that they advertise to them means milk, yogurt and cereal.
Parking was tight, when we were there, a guest in a huge truck parked over the lines and we couldn’t fit in the one left spot so had to park on the street.
