The hotel is located just outside the downtown area, and as with all big cities, there were lots of people who seems to be down on their luck about the place. The only negative comment I have about our stay at the hotel itself is that when we arrived to check in at about 5.15 pm the front door was locked. We spent over 10 minutes waiting on the sidewalk with our suitcases trying to attract the attention of the staff inside by banging on the door, as the note on the door asked us to do. We didn’t feel safe at this point, after a 10 hour flight, it was not what we needed. When the staff member appeared and let us in, there was no apology offered. Anyway, the room was comfortable and clean. The small continental type breakfast was welcome, and the staff we met there and on checkout were polite and friendly. We’d stay again despite the issue we encountered when we first arrived.

Lovely room, most comfortable bed & linens, spotlessly clean, excellent boutique decor. Quiet. Limited selection of baked goods & coffee only in a.m. Decent restaurants within walking distance. Large unhoused population in surrounding blocks. Would stay here again.

Nice place, sketchy neighborhood

The hotel was very artsy and quaint but it is in an area of many homeless people. Our friends wanted to leave but we talked them into staying. I wouldn’t feel comfortable going out at night.

Staff was great. It’s wasn’t quite the same as pictured . It’s down the street from an area where people are smoking crack in plain sight. If you open the bedroom window shades you have a view of the balconies of the apt. Building next to you.

The property probably has the potential and the ability to give a great experience to its guest but for the price that you pay per night, there are a fair few issuee, we haven't seen anyone from the hotel at front desk over two days, no house keeping, the AC doesn't work, but they do have a portable unit in the room, but this wasn't mentioned at check in, but it was only a security guard that checked us in, the tv is also not working. Positives are the bed is very comfortable and the shower is great to, room is a good size and the art works in the room are nice. I would like to hear from the manager of the hotel at some point to get some clarification on these above issues.
