Nice experience of contactless check in and other options, the only issues we experienced was is got pretty cold late evening and over night. We couldn’t get the hvac system to heat up the room, it constantly blows cold air no matter what we did to correct this issue other than completely turning off the power button. Please investigate that issue.

The room was clean and the location was central BUT be aware there is no staff. No front desk no personnel whatsoever. They call it “ invisible service”. There are numbers you can call if you need anything, but it lacks human hospitality.

I would rate the overall stay a 3.5. Check in was confusing - they were great communicators via text, but they check in email could have been clearer. How to actually get the keypad to turn on, how to make sure your room gets locked, once you open it via keypad you must use the deadbolt, or clear it out to lock it. Had I not had trouble using the keypad to get in and sent a text, I would have never know it didn't automatically shut. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and amenities were lovely. The main reason for the average rating is that the tavern below our room blasted music and it was like a concert in our room. We let it go upon arrival because it was 6 and early. By 8:30 we texted and they person felt bad but said it was hard to control what is going on around them hotel, but really you built rooms on top of a tavern so noise should have been a factor when insulating the rooms. We ended up getting ear plugs at the local CVS and at 9:30 we got a text that they called and asked them to turn it down. The music was not loud anymore, but you could hear them cleaning up till about 9:45 or so. The person I was texting with was very nice and felt bad about the situation, but I personally would recommend staying there, or at least in a room on that side of the hotel. Had the noise not been such an issue, I would have given them at 5.

We stayed here for 2 nights. Room wasn’t cleaned the second day. We had only 2 bottles of water in our room for the entire stay inspite of me texting them and asking them! Zero response. Location is great but what one gets for what you pay is not great. Towels were not totally fluffy white and clean more like a gray tone (white towels).

The room was nice and clean. One of the skylights could not be closed so it was too bright in the morning. It was odd that all the legs of the chase on the right bed were loose and all the faucet handles in the sink and shower were also loose. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Best location for walking everywhere in town, clean, pet friendly(park right across street), easy check in, easy building and room access via code and good staff responsiveness. 2 things to know - walls are thin and you can hear everything (people speaking loudly on street, large trucks driving by and noise from guests walking down halls, opening doors etc). Also water in bathroom sink never got hot (or even lukewarm) Elevator was not working and under repair but was not an issue for our stay

There's no one around to help when there's a problem, we couldn't even check in because no one sent the info like room number and door code, the room was overpriced and noisy, barely got hot water in the shower, someone puked on the curtains and no one cleaned it up.
