Great overall service. Clean and unique surroundings. Do not make the mistake I did and park in the proper areas. Otherwise it's a $40.00 fine. Staff attempted to contact them and get the fine waived but it was enforced. I appreciate the staff even attempting to help. Cory the doorman was great and knowledgeable telling me all the good places to go and visit during my stay. Will be back.

Romantic converted train cars for the win!

This was such a unique and fun property. My husband and I stayed in one of the converted train cars for our anniversary, and it was very romantic. We also were able to bring our dog, which was a huge plus!

Disliked: Amenities
It wasn’t the property. It was the room that we stayed in was so dark even with the lights on they were so dim and we’re just older and it’s hard for us to see The other thing was I was kind of disappointed because nobody would come in the room and do a tidying up and put in fresh towels. I always had to call and ask for towels and wash rags and ice. I’m just old school and I know somebody told me they don’t do that anymore since Covid but I think that’s something that you might wanna consider bringing back and the other thing is that we stay there but you still had to pay for coffee that should be complementary other than that I would have to say the outside surrounding areas was great. It was easy to get in and out of my room

This is a very nice hotel in an up and coming neighborhood. Many great options for food, and places to grab a drink. Two brewing companies within walking distance. It did cost extra to park so keep that in mind. Beds were great, we had a patio that we sat at in the evening and the pool is nice. Only complaint the walls are thinner because it’s an older hotel and our neighbors were a little loud until late. But all in all it’s a great place in a very nice area.
