I really enjoyed my one night stay! Check in went well, was able to drop luggage in room, and then go down for a glass of wine, enjoyed the outdoor seating, perfect for some family time, they have games and puzzles and a rock wall, jacuzzi and sauna! Complimentary coffee in the morning! John was very pleasant to chat with! Would stay there again!

Unique take on an old motel stay! Check in was easy, though parking was tight for our F150. Great hot tub, sauna, and common area—we grabbed burgers from around the corner and brought them back to eat at the tables.

The property was pretty unique with its wooden bedside table and wooden TV table. We didn't have an opportunity to enjoy more of it's facilities though (checked in late due to flight delay and check-out eary). I wish it had: - no carpet, wood floor like its furniture. - better coffee cup cover in the lobby, it didn't fit the cup and burned my hand.

The concept of this hotel was good. It had a fun vibe in the lobby amenities and with the decor. However, the carpets were disgusting. The smell of the room was awful and it made you wonder about the cleanliness of everything. With that said the location is excellent. Easy walk to campus.

This is an excellent place to stay for downtown shopping. It is a lovely walk away. The parking is really tight. If you are driving your silverado 2500, parking will be challenging. The entrance is blocked by shrubbery which limits the view pulling out if the place. With a vehicle like mine, It is near impossible to see anyone on the sidewalk or driving by because i have to pull into the street just to see what's coming, and the street is super busy. Also, bicycles think they own the road. One drove right into me and accused me his mistake. Overall a great place to stay, just be aware of the parking and bicyclers.
