All around excellent hotel option. Great location and amenities, lobby, free coffee in the morning is ah-plus, clean & tidy rooms. The only shortcoming was that the tiled shower needs a deep, thorough cleaning as the floor & lower part of the wall was getting black with mildew. All and all I recommend.

I really.love the cool vibe if this hotel So easy toncheck in and out. Staff are great! Love the bar and lounge area, record player and records in room. Lots of space and natural light. Lovely toiletries. The only thing better would be some sort of parking deal closer, more than 2 thin towels in the room, a steamer or iron in the closet, and netter shower ( it was constantly hit and cold and leaked into the bathroom). But we would stay here again in a minute! Location is so great for subway, restaurants, etc
