The wall HVAC unit was broken and a space heater was provided but neither remote or local button operation seemed to work. It's also very loud - can hear others in the hallway as if they were in my room. Not deal breakers, but minor inconveniences that would make me think harder about booking again. The coffee shop downstairs is top tier!

The room was clean. The hotel itself is super cute! Check-in was very easy with the directions. The walls are a little thin so if someone else is checking in you can hear suitcases rolling down the hallway but it didn’t bother us.

I liked it that it was like an AirB&B. No check in just use the combo and go to the room. Only there for one night but it was great. Mexican Food place across the street was awesome.

OMG, I have stayed at a lot of places (>100) and this far surpassed any (well there was this one on the east side of milwaukee that I stayed at for a year, but that's another story) and this was better!!!. I'm afraid to say too much good stuff because I will need to stay there again and I want to find a room ;) Art is messy with attention to detail, the screws on the outlet cover plates were all alighned vertical ;)
