The parking was initially confusing, but then we found out about the nice parking garage next to it. It would have been nice to have more breakfast options and a refrigerator in the room, but those things aren't necessary. We used ice and a cooler to keep things cold. We thought the rooms were great.

Better than a chain hotel

Great location with alot of neat small town businesses nearby. I was in the area from out of state for work and needed to park a 26 foot box truck and street parking wasn't too inconvenient. Nice room - very hotel like. No refrigerator in the room which was a small bummer overall pretty happy with everything else

No hot water. No response

Hotel itself was nice and updated. However we were there for a 2 night stay and had no hot water the entire time. Sent a few messages and got no response so the lack of hot water is what prompts the negative review. Had we been able to have a hot shower this would be a 5 star review. Paid to much for 2 nights to have a cold shower and no response to messages about the situation

Quick overnight stay

Check in was a little clumsy, but our guy was working his first shift alone, so we cut him slack. The building is phenomenal.

Room is small. But a/c didn't seem to work. Was humid in room. My son found a can of dip/chew/ under the bed. So obviously not clean. Hard to get a hold of hotel staff and no refrigerator. Good location though. Bed comfortable

Beautifully remodeled and clean! Comfortable bed and nice cool room with new carpet. Could use a little more counter space in the bathrooms but both bathroom and bedroom were very neat and clean. I would definitely recommend anyone in the area to stay here. Sarah is amazing, as well!!

The bed was great, best sleep I have had in awhile! The building is right downtown so walkable to a little shopping and restaurants. Parking was right behind the building in their very quiet ramp. They had a small selection of free breakfast items in the foyer that was a nice surprise. The only downside, even though the building is nicely renovated, the entry level has a bit of a funky old building smell, but the smell isn’t up in the second floor where the hotel rooms are.
