We had booked a 3 night stay. No one cleaned the room even once even though I asked multiple times. They only changed towels. We also had placed a cake in their kitchen fridge for one night that we got for an event. They damaged the cake. They were quite sorry and were going to give us credit.

Fun quirky themed hotel. Great location to walkable eatery. Coffee nook is convenient for a morning grab. Rooms are okay but certainly not for guests who have high cleanliness standards. The bar is more of a dive bar feel with basic drinks in plastic cups; don’t expect luxury. Staff were very pleasant.
