8.6/10 Excellent! (817 reviews)
⚠️ FAIR WARNING to anyone thinking about booking a stay at THE LEEF. We stayed for 3 days/2 nights. The room itself is cute, and while there’s no microwave—which is inconvenient—it wasn’t a huge deal. What IS a huge deal is that we found TWO ROACHES in our room on the very first night. I reported it the following morning, but they weren’t able to provide us with a different room. Instead, I was offered cleaning services for that day and one day of free parking (aka $10) as compensation. However, on the next morning - checkout day, we found TWO MORE ROACHES. Four roaches during a two-night stay is absolutely unacceptable. A hotel should be able to provide guests with a clean, pest-free room, and the fact that we continued finding roaches after reporting the issue is disgusting. And don’t expect much when it comes to customer service. The so-called “lobby” is essentially just a screen with a virtual representative. When you have an actual issue that requires assistance, it makes the experience even more frustrating. I genuinely hope no one else has to worry about accidentally bringing roaches home with them after staying here. Do yourself a favor: if you value cleanliness and want a pest-free stay, DON’T STAY AT THE LEEF.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is very charming. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They have a large carafe of complementary flavored water at the desk. One day it was watermelon another day it was cucumber celery. I like the location of the hotel also, it's not too far from a grocery store. There are different restaurants and places to eat very close.
