Room was nice. Shower head was worst we’ve seen in a while. Stationary, no adjustments, so all you get is a sprinkling. Not okay for this type property! Pillows were not our favorite…looked nice but was difficult to get comfortable on them. Having a firmer pillow option in the room would have been a bonus.

Unique hotel. Rooms are small and valet is pricey. The walls are very thin and we heard loud music from a neighboring restaurant past midnight. It was a Wednesday night. Stuff was friendly.

Super cute rooms - super convenient. Wish I had known at 10:25 am when I went to the coffee shop in lobby to get breakfast that they stop at 10:20 km game days, which is a very odd time Also just got a $55 valet charge for one night that I plan to call about , esp since my car was left right outside in a spot 25 feet away all night
