- "Staff is so friendly" - "The place is very comfortable and stylish. the location is great with free parking. the staff are amazing." - "All of the aesthetic touches were wonderful! If you’re someone who likes taking cute photos, this place had lots of opportunities. Loved the fire pit, I imagine in the summer this would be a great way to meet people. I like the idea of the space creating a community like a hostel whereas traditional hotels don’t really have that."

Guest Reviews:
- "The room was massive and modern. The ease of check in was amazing. However the thing about this place is the small details. Nice hardwood floors but the thoughtful touch of having a thick carpet just under and on either side of the bed so when you get out of bed in the morning you have a soft landing. Fresh flowers in the hall and room. Truly this is a 5 star hotel for a reasonable price." - "Excellent facility that exceeeded our expectations in terms of comfort, cleanliness, ambience and everything else that was in the room. Probably one of the best rooms I have stayed in."

Oh and they were also dog friendly :)" - "We loved Alex and his attentional to detail and passion for creating a beautiful space for travelers from nearby and even around the world.
