Our property is not your typical hotel. We offer a boutique setup that provides a unique, custom-tailored experience designed to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Each unit within our building has been thoughtfully prepared to reflect a distinct theme and atmosphere, ensuring that every stay feels special and different.

Our zoning allows for short-term rentals, making it easy for you to stay for both quick trips and extended visits. We are continuously enhancing our amenities, such as transforming the rooftop area into a terrace for additional outdoor space.

Getting Around:
Due to our central location and limited parking, we recommend using Uber or the nearby bus services for your transportation needs. This allows you to easily navigate the city and enjoy all the local hotspots without the hassle of finding parking.

Please note that this is a lively downtown area. It’s not the place for those seeking a quiet retreat. You may hear people walking by at night from the nearby bars, and there may occasionally be homeless individuals passing by. However, there are no encampments nearby. Our building is old and, despite extensive renovations, the walls are still thin, so sound can travel.
