Very unique styling, we enjoyed the fun re take on the old motel style of mid century America. Friendly staff and the restaurant was delish! I don’t know what they use, but the entire place smells wonderful, puts you in a peaceful mood. Not much parking around there, but they have their own valet for $25. The pool area is lovely. I booked this last minute and was so pleasantly surprised… it was a Saturday night but got it for a great price.

The room was nice. The pictures on the website were a little bit deceiving. The area around the hotel is filled with empty stores, and an abundance of homeless people. Not many places to eat. The Art gallery inside the hotel was a nice surprise.

This is not a new property but newly renovated - it is beautiful - my room was great - the courtyard has a pool and an outdoor restaurant area. The restaurant was great as well - great service and delicious food. Nice patio. All in all it is really great - Staff was great but the morning person at the registration desk was surprisingly grumpy both times i had to go ask a question - I left very early and the night person and security staff were kind, and very helpful. I'll go back for sure!!

The staff and property were excellent. Clean and comfortable. The staff was so amazing. They even kept the pool open an hour past closing to allow us to enjoy our night at the pool. The server at the bar was great as well. We arrived at the bar exactly at 9pm and the bartender still made us a drink even though it was closing time. Without hesitation everyone was ready to help and accommodate our needs. This was amazing and made for a great birthday staycation for my husbands birthday!

It would have been nice to know parking was valet for a fee and to tip the valet. The absolute worst was Friday night listening to the street rodders until 2 am. They should have told us that ahead of time. When she told us she put us in the quiet side. The plus was the pool and happy hour selections!! And the pool side staff was amazing!!
