Really enjoyed my stay here. It’s definitely more bare-bones, but super cute and they fully commit to the backstage theme, which I liked. I was barely in the room anyway, so it worked great for me. Just a heads up: the bathroom and shower are shared, but you do have a private sink in the room, plus towels, which made it easy. The location was the biggest win for me — very walkable and close to everything I wanted. The staff were really friendly and super nice, and they made the stay feel really welcoming. I had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
