Better options in the area

Newer facility. comfortable beds. amenities lacking. Previous reviews comment on nice breakfast. actually only granola bars and fruit. Pricey alternative for the area. There are better for same or less money. Will not choose this option again.

Such a fun and unique hotel! You don’t have to worry about losing a key because the door is your own code—it was quiet and easy to get to. Walkable to downtown areas. The bed was comfy and it was clean! I would absolutely recommend staying here!

Beautiful property

Our stay was great. Desk staff were nice. The rooms are beautiful. Everything felt new, fresh, and clean. Our kids liked the breakfast (Dunkin’ Donuts) and we enjoyed the Nespresso. We booked the Queen “suite” and the room we got was two queens but did not match the images we saw online; at booking the room looked like it would have two kind of separate sleeping areas—traveling with kids, this is what we were hoping for. So we were disappointed in that. We hope Hotels.com/the property update their images so it doesn’t feel like a bait and switch for other families!
