"I liked the friendly staff. I liked the very comfortable bed in room 913. It was a very small room but honestly for me. It didn’t matter . However, for two people it would’ve been too small. If you stay in this hotel, make sure you sit with your evening beer or wine glass on the 11th floor restaurant."

"I enjoyed my solo stay. The decor was bright and upbeat giving a welcoming atmosphere. The rooms were cute and compact which I haven’t experienced before but thought was so charming! Staff were helpful and friendly. Only thing I thought could use improvement was the cleanliness of the dining area & the corners of the rooms could use some dusting. Also, the iPad that you use for basically everything in the room had finger prints all over it which was kinda gross. Overall just paying closer attention to details regarding cleanliness. The important parts (bathroom, bedsheets etc) were clean which matters the most. Would stay again!"
