This hotel was a gem. It is super nice entry and open seating restuarant area. The food was delicious and the staff was nice. It was a quiet, peaceful and calm feeling. The rooms were small but very comfortable. The location is ideal - close to the main streets and areas to tour but a few blocks off so it was very quiet. The dinner menu was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Warm and friendly hotel. Wonderful staff, beautiful interior with lots of lighting and candles at night. Very warm and cozy. Rooms are the same with very comfortable beds and lovely bathroom amenities. They also have a happy hour in the evening, which is nice. The only downside is that it is in a rather ugly industrial building, but it turns out that many of the buildings in the city look just like it. Ugly on the outside but Beautiful inside. I would definitely recommend staying here. Within walking distance of rainbow Road, the church and the pedestrian area.
