One of those rare hotels where the place you stay is actually one of the highlights of your trip, instead of just a way to get to other highlights. The design is cool - you're surrounded by exposed brick and reclaimed wood. On our stay, the people were super friendly and authentic, and there were spaces in the room and common areas where we wanted to linger just for fun.
