Great customer service, clean room, pet-friendly, easy walk or bike ride to downtown. It’s recently renovated and the aesthetic of the property is great. Love the outdoor seating area.
Our room! Simple and satisfied our need. No fridge or microwave. Keep that in mind if that is something you want.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this hotel! The staff was incredible, the accommodations were clean & adorably decorated, and the owner’s lab was the cherry on top. This hotel has the perfect, local & cozy feel, and it’s easily walkable to all the best spots downtown. I would highly recommend staying here & look forward to coming back.

Very nice check in staff, and a very cute property. Parking is $20 a night, but I am not from the area so this might be normal. The blackout shade they have in the rooms is no joke which is a perk. Downtown is within walking distance so plenty to do.

We had to carry our suitcases upstairs to 2nd floor. No free coffee in the lobby. Decor was beautiful but why pay for parking when you have plenty of space in your parking lot?

We loved this new hotel so much for its charm and the free bikes we were able take into town .. there was an issue with our bedroom AC over-heating and turning off at night. My husband had to wake up and turn it back on. We also had a drain in the sink that was draining super slow and maybe needed an adjustment. Overall wonderful.. will stay here again! Nice fire pit, nice bikes, nice stafff ❤️
