It was in a great location. The rooms are small, but the problem is the bed is pushed against the wall so if you’re with someone they have to climb over to get out. Our GPS took us to the address, but there was no place to pull your car in to load or unload. It was set back off the street with a sidewalk, a bicycle path and a bus stop separating the road from the building. We drove around the block five or six times thinking there has to be someplace to pull your car in and unload but no. So I figured I would try to call, but that was impossible because nobody answers the phone. It’s all automated. Finally my girlfriend got out of the car on a nearby corner and went inside. Reception is on the second floor with one person helping with about five or six kiosks. Now I am now driving around waiting for instructions. When they finally called me, they told me to park in the bus stop. I was hesitant, but they said it’s legal. There’s a sign it was probably 12” x 12” surrounded by sign saying you can’t park here . This one said 10 minutes loading and unloading, not for the hotel just in general. They did bring a cart out and help us. The next is trying to find a parking place. They told me to go about a quarter mile away when there was a garage literally 500 feet away. I don’t know if they have affiliation with the other one, but either way they should give some direction on how to check in on their website

Great location and well equipped room. The room is small but well thought and nothing is missing. The only issue I had was that the water in the shower does not get super warm and that really bothered me. The staff is super nice, and the lounging space in the lobby and the bar area is super nice. I really enjoyed the outdoor terrace as well. Overall a great hotel, probably better for a couple or a single person like me. There is no room to go around the bed so the second person has to climb over the first one to get out of bed if the other one is sleeping.

This is an adorable, well set up, efficiency hotel. My room was small and yet so perfectly set up that the size felt cozy, creative, and completely adequate to any need that I had. It used technology expansively to manage my comfort in the room, and the shared spaces were clean, artistically decorated, and comfortable. The staff was perfect. Definitely, highly recommend.

Great hotel and super nice staff but the AC …

Everything about this location was great as it was in a newly built building. One caveat was the AC in the room. It didn’t work as well as it wouldn’t decrease in temperature and would go back to Auto when changing the settings. I would definitely fix that especially for summer.
