The rooms are cute; but not completely accurate as shown. I thought this location would have a more 'boutique' feel but it's truly only in the decor. Note that you are not walking distance to anything. I lived in this area prior and knew this going in, but I didn't feel the property felt or provided anything special. The ac/heat unit didn't work and we froze. The bathroom wasn't immaculate. I stay all over the world and can honestly say this location is WAY overpriced for what you get. No breakfast included - nothing. Look elsewhere for a nicer experience.

Room had some stains on furniture but the bed was clean. The temperature control on the room was great and it was a very comfortable environment. Lobby having games to play and a great cafe were very good bonuses. Had a rainy weekend but I’m sure the walking trail would have been nice.

I love everything about this hotel- how it's decorated, the staff, the comfortable and clean room. The lovely woman at the registration desk even gave me a complimentary upgrade which was an unexpected surprise. However, I have two complaints that really need to be addressed. It took several minutes for the water to heat up. I let the shower run for probably 5 minutes before it got up to a comfortable temperature which still was not hot. It even went cold before it warmed up. It's the off season so hot water should have been available immediately although that should be a normal expectation year round. Secondly, there is no place to put toiletries except on a small wooden stool which already held additional towels. There isn't even a place to put my own shampoo/conditioner/soap in the shower. The bathroom was plenty large and could easily accommodate additional shelving. If it's an issue with just one person's items, imagine what it's like for multiple guests sharing a room!
