Our stay at Ember Locke was more than accommodating. Nosh at the front desk (I hope that’s right) was very helpful our first day allowing us to check in a little early after a long flight. The staff was very friendly and we appreciated the convenience of a kitchenette in our room as well as the availability of Eve in the lobby for a quick bite or a coffee in the morning.
