Very Good

Small hotel with very few people working. Bathrooms need to be scrubbed down I heard this from many guests. DAily service didn't always happen. Breakfast was good and convenient. The patio area would be nice when the weather is good.
Welcoming and clean. Staff was warm and helpful. Super safe area and super convenient to The Guild Theater and restaurants.

The exception not the rule
Check in was great, directed us where to find our room not just on a map but walking us to the beginning of the hallway where it was located. We’ve stayed here about 6 times. We’ve always been happy with the hotel. This was the smallest room. The dresser had something sticky on the top. Super icky!!!! That being said the other stays were perfectly fine
