We decided to cancel about 48 hours before our stay due to a nearby fire and my husbands health issues, making smokey air a risk to him. When I contacted them, they refused to refund any money at all. Very upsetting

This was such a nice hotel! Walkable, clean, and had a nice cafe and sitting area. It was especially nice when it was pouring rain. We were able to sit out there and enjoy the view. Very dog friendly.

It was fine. Room was nice and clean but no fridge (but it did have a cooler and we could get free ice at the liquor store downstairs), no AC, wifi was terrible (we couldn't connect and staff had no idea how to fux it), tv was pathetically small and of poor quality. While the hotel focusses on style, it lacks significantly on substance, especially considering how expensive it is during high season. Breakfast in the lobby cafe was fantastic.

Disliked: Amenities
Convenient + centrally-located, very walkable area. Lobby is open + spacious. But in 2 weeks of travel, room was the smallest with the fewest amenities + the highest price. No chair to sit on, no table or desk to place items on, no fridge. Room for 1 suitcase; cant imagine how 2 people could actually share the space.

I really enjoyed the quirky and thoughtful decor throughout the building. The staff greet you with a complimentary cocktail and the adjoining restaurant serves delicious food with a fun and young vibe. Our room door knob needs replacing and I would have loved a coffee machine and supplies provided.

Nice modern refurbished hotel. Will not stay here again due to noise from Bierhaus in the courtyard, then kitchen noises until an hour after closing. No elevator.

We Hope to be Back

What a great experience we had at The Maq. The reception from Ivory was great (and so was the cocktail!) We were able to store our bicycles in a locked compound. The food in the Bear House Restaurant was wonderful. All in all, this is a great, funky place to stay. The entire staff were welcoming and friendly.

Overall good accommodation for money. Friendly staff and an amazing location. Only thing I’d say is that the walls are far too thin and it was quite loud.

Great bed! No coffee in room, no a/c, no small frig. Coffee you can purchase downstairs but coffee shop doesn’t open till 7:30. And you get an ice chest. Beautiful place, but it’s glamping! Would like a few more amenities, esp. coffee maker or open coffee shop earlier.
