I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner is super friendly and chill. As long as there is communication on both sides, I think it's a win/win situation. The parking garage is a bit small but other than that everything else was just as I imagined. : ) I can't wait for the future trip.

I gave this review 4 stars due to the excellent location. A star was removed due to the restroom situation being completely exposed. If you're a solo traveler then it's tolerable, but I couldn't imagine having another person in the room with a semi-exposed restroom. I had a premium room and overall enjoyed it. Great for a short stay.

I wanted to try something different but it didn’t work for us. However, the staff was very helpful and nice. We checked out early because this location was clearly for the younger generation. It was a bit too compacted for us.

if you like a darkish room to sleep in Room 202 is not a good choice and quite a bit of street noise. During the day though it is full of light and very pleasant
