"Overall we had a great stay at a new modern place with an awesome location. Some negatives we experienced were a minor smell of smoke in the room, a musty smell in the hallway outside of our room, and also I disliked the lack of communication that I wouldn’t be getting my code to my room until exactly 4:00. I got there 15 min early and was very confused about how to check in."

"Loved the modern minimalist decor. The room was very clean. Bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Our view of the water was great. The one night we spent as we were passing through on our vacation felt like a special retreat. We loved walking to nearby shops and restaurants which were so close by! Awesome hotel we highly recommend and would love to return to!"
