"Arden is soo attentive to details - thanks!"

"The room was clean. Housekeeping service was great. I went to front desk when next room was smoking Marijuana and it made my room smell of Marijuana. I did not want extra charge for smell. Front desk stated I would not be charged. I was stuck with the smell in my room."

"The courtyard facing rooms with patios are a highlight!"

"Restaurant not open for breakfast or dinner/ no prior notification"

"Nice terrace area off of the fourth floor. Would’ve been nice to have a full length mirror in the room."

"My clothes and suits got wet due to a leak in the ceiling from the AC unit’s access panel."

"Positives: the host was very responsive and respectful and addressed concerns . There were plenty of dishes and cutlery and having an air conditioner/ heater in each bedroom is nice. The unit is gated and locked which feels safe and private. Negative: In the effort to be transparent so others can make informed decisions . Unfortunately, our experience with this unit was very different from what was portrayed in the listing photos. After arriving and spending the night, we noticed multiple concerns including a strong odor in the home, visible water damage and deterioration throughout the property, damaged electrical outlets that did not feel safe to use, and windows without proper locks. The condition of the home appeared significantly more worn and neglected than expected. The host was polite and did agree to refund the unused nights after we communicated our concerns, which we appreciated. However, we ultimately did not feel comfortable or safe continuing our stay and checked out early. I would encourage the host to address the maintenance and safety issues, as the property has potential to be really cute and nice but currently does not match the condition presented in the listing. I would encourage people to ask about repairs before writing the property off because like I said , it has a lot of beautiful potential"

"Very clean accommodation. I felt safe. Hotel management makes safety a priority. Although this is a boutique hotel without a lobby with coffee or drinks, there is a 7-Eleven a couple doors down and plenty of coffee shops and eateries about a 10 minute walk up the street on Piedmont Avenue. Only thing that was a little concerning was that the windows are single paned and sound carried very easily into my street facing room. The hotel manager reassured me that the rooms that are away from the street don’t have the same issue. "

"We enjoyed the place very much as it did feel like home away from home. The place had all that was necessary to just carry on with daily activities, prepare meals, etc. We hope to go back in the future.Quick response from the owner."
