Nice, but gotcha! 🤔

First time staying here. Very clean, quiet & comfy. At check in we were asked if we needed parking. Yes we do. Ok, it is an additional fee. Note: posted signs in front hotel states 2 hour parking only! We were forced to pay for parking directly on side the hotel which could have EASILY been complimentary, because nothing else was.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was super friendly. Room was clean and decor was nice. Bed was super comfortable. The only issue was the lack of a window and the incessant knocking, which sounded like a constant tap and never stopped all night. Not sure if there’s a plumbing issue or something going on, but it was definitely annoying.

Left the room early in the morning and returned around 5 p.m. The room had not been cleaned and there were no fresh towels. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful in getting us fresh towels and cups for the room.

The cutest boutique hotel

I absolutely adored the aesthetic of this hotel. However, the lack of decorum and professionalism has convinced me to not book another stay.

Gulfport weekend

Air conditioner could use a cleaning in room 12 I'm assuming that's why it couldn't keep up with the heat outside during our stay. Wifi was very weak as well. Maybe it's because of the building. Otherwise, everything else was great. Staff was very friendly, the bed was comfy, room was very clean, towels were high quality. Great location near a bunch of nice eateries.

Front desk “thought we weren’t here” and decided to come in our room and supposedly look for a charger a previous guest left in the room. Totally not cool. We have been checked in for 22 hours and easy for OUR stuff to come up missing. We even had our do not disturb tag on the door. Also, you hear all the hallway noise from inside your room. Decently nice looking place but not if you want PEACE and QUIET.
