Overall a lovely hotel. I had one issue. The desk in my room had clearly not been cleaned since the last guest. Hopefully just an oversight and not an indication of normal cleaning standards.

Pros-The location is great & the astethics are wonderful. I love the openness of the staff & facilities. The coffeshop is adorable. The cons- the auto light went out while i was in the shower. In hindsight, i think the towel was blocking my movement before i went in. Also, our bed wasn't made or our room cleaned. We had to call down for sheets & towels. I should have asked for a new room but didn't notice our bathroom wasn't cleaned until later. But it's a cute hotel, maybe we just had bad luck. Everything else is great.
