Want to enjoy the bar and outdoor space more.

I think this place is easy n cute. But one of the cool things about the spot is the bar that is never open very late. And you’ve got a great grounds and last couple times I’ve come they’re closed. They would really be nice if you have someone on staff to keep the grounds open so we can relax outside. There are no balconies and if you wanna have a smoke or just be outside to look at the moon, I don’t feel like it’s very accessible.

Nice cool room - good A/C

Comfortable room with a great A/C that kept the room cool (68 F) even in the heatwave! Overall, a great place, centrally located and with a cool vibe. Only negatives for me were the bed being a bit on the hard side, the lack of options for head pillows (4 pillows per bed but they were all the same high height which was slightly too puffy to be comfortable for me personally), and the main area of the parking lot being a bit tight for getting in and out of the parking spaces (probably fine if you are used to parking garages and uphill parking, but I personally found it a bit tight parking an SUV there when the hotel was full) - but I found out later that the open area at the end of the parking lot is also available for guest parking - that was not obvious to me when arriving so I just want to leave a note here about that to other guests who like me may not be the most confident at parking in tight spaces or who have a larger vehicle

Very cozy place with extremely kind and accommodating staff. The room was set up very well, but there was a big ant infestation the next morning and poorly made shower diverter that popped off with a gentle pull. Texted the hotel’s number for help but didn’t receive a reply. Had to go to the lobby in person then wait in the room. These issues took some time anway and weren’t up to basic hotel standards. But other than that, I enjoyed my stay.
