Normally absolutely love staying here, the location is perfect and I prefer spending money towards small owned businesses but the room this time was not cleaned; lack of hot water, there was an excessive amount of hair in the shower, stains and food crumbs on the carpet. It was far too late for me to go elsewhere, so I asked to get some form of refund back but didn’t hear anything yet.

Loved staying here, nice clean rooms, perfect little kitchen. I suggest booking a room on the 3rd floor so you don't have to walk anymore of the stairs. Lol! Entrance and carpet up to rooms could be updated. Very central to everything, restaurants and bars right outside your door. I would stay here again and highly recommend

Air conditioner does not work efficiency. In such cold day we have to wear a coat in room a couple of hour to wait worm up little bit, then you have to experience a loud noice from the older conditioner all night. Basically there is no service in the hotel, the room is clean, but the stair to the room so dirty. Not worth for you paid such high price to stay there.

The location and price were great. The room was big for a city hotel and clean. This is a walk-up and the steps are very very steep. The water pressure in the shower was poor and the temperature was scalding hot. There is no staff so we would have had to call or text.

No TV and no parking was a bummer. As long as you have your own laptop w/ Netflix or Amazon Prime & you are Ubering/Lyfting everywhere - it's perfect. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE!
