Love the decor and overall vibe. Itā€™s walkable to lots of great shopping and restaurants. My room smelled like it had been recently painted and seemed a little dirty. The comforter had stains on it and there was piles of dust under the beds. Really hated the paint smell as Iā€™m pregnant. But overall it was a nice place with a great location. The pool area was really cute. I wish the weather had been better so I could enjoy. Good price point compared to other hotels in the area.

Walls are paper thin- we could hear entire conversations next door and in the halls. No free breakfast or coffee, you have to eat at the restaurant. No parking, you have to valet or pay to park down the street. The room was clean and nice. Close to everything. Go eat at Hymens if you stay here, and check out the market. Very conveniently located but I would stay somewhere else if we return.

Not worth it.

If you're going for the pool, it's great, otherwise the room had a view of a brick wall and the HVAC was so loud. The fitness center was at a hotel down the street. The resort fee or whatever was highway robbery.

Coffee shop was super convenient onsite and we had a lovely breakfast in the restaurant. Only negative was the lack of coffee machine and refrigerator in the room.
