Hotel was really clean and the room was clean. Walls are thin and you can hear other room doors opening and closing and talking. Other than that, it was great. Would probably stay here again for the price!

The room was super cute!! The shower was AMAZING!! The location was great and there was a ton of restaurants around. It also wasn't far from the tourist stuff. The parking was little confusing, but we figured it out. Would definitely stay again.

I chose this hotel because it was close the Bill Graham auditorium. It took 20 minutes to check in. It difficult to understand the front desk agent. It was so hot in the hotel only to find out there was no ac. I was given a room with a window. All I heard was cursing, people shouting, singing and traffic. It was very difficult to sleep. On the bright side the room was clean and bed was comfortable enough. I was glad to go home.

Rooms facing the streets can be very loud at all times, specially at night. Feels like the windows are wide open. If you want a quiet room ask for the interior part of the building. The “breakfast option” is misleading, it’s just some pastries and a few fruit options. Coffee machine, water and juice. There are plenty of actual restaurants attached to the hotel and a short walking distance away.

An amazing budget friendly option for a short term stay. The staff were above and beyond and ensured you maximized your experience. While there as no gym and breakfast was minimal, the hotel had a cute boutique vibe that made it all worthwhile.

The room is clean and the property is in a convenient location, but the walls are very thin. If you don’t try to find something to drown out the sound of other rooms you will be subjected to hearing them. Additionally there is no parking on site, and valet is the option for a garage that is about 10 minutes away.

In a bad area - could hear the street quite loudly for most of the night. Took 10 minutes for anyone to show up to the front desk. Hotel room itself was nice and clean. Hotel however had a weird smell outside the room and a few odd stains. A sign in the room said check out was at noon, but got a call at 11:10 saying I should’ve been out by 11 and that noon is not the check out time. Worked for last minute need, probably wouldn’t book again

This hotel is good for solo travelers, clean space and nice staff but the area around the hotel is not the safest place but if you don’t mind to risk your life a little is a good spot for solo travelers. I think the breakfast is acceptable for the price and the coffee machine is the best.

What really stood out to me was the overall aesthetic and the thoughtful amenities. The hotel has a beautiful, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. Breakfast was great, and the highlight for me was the latte machine in the lobby—such a nice touch! I also loved the cucumber-infused water, which made the space feel refreshing and elevated. Overall, a really enjoyable stay.
