9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,410 reviews)
I love the style of the style of a hotel which I understand was recently redone. It would've been nice to have somewhere to have something to eat like a restaurant or room service in the morning or morning coffee. Of course stay straight is right out front but it's nice to be able to go directly to the lobby.

Great location! Cute rooms, but on the smaller side. Minimalistic amenities. Staff was helpful. Dawn and Dusk patio area is great. They have bikes you can use for the day which was fun!
