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.

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.
