This hotel was one of a kind. The decor, the high vaulted ceilings in the room made the look extraordinary. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The location was central to a lot of places. I will definitely be back!

Neighborhood was concerning and very loud until late at night. Cars and motorcycles racing down the street.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the blackout blinds in our room which was quickly sorted and we were offered a complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience. We also had a very early checkout and the valet staff were on it and had our car there early. The hotel is in a good location. Bar in the hotel is fine, breakfast and service weren't great.

VERY nice property conveniently located where I needed. Excellent and friendly staff from the valet to the front desk and restaurant staff. My family had two rooms. The double bed room was a little small but king bed room was spacious and had a nice couch in there which would have been nice in the double room as well. I would definitely stay there again and appreciated the pleasant stay. I was nervous that it would be a small boutique that would not meet our needs but that was not the case.

When we walked we were greeted by Deonte and he was amazing. He knew everything we asked about and told and showed us everything about the hotel and its amenities. The kindness and generosity he showed was above any that I have seen or ever heard of. This man should be in charge sharing his skill with others. Thanks for the great stay.

The people that worked her might have been the kindest and most genuine hotel workers I’ve ever experience. My room was so nice and clean and I was able to get extra towels and water and other things extremely easily. 10/10 would recommend this property ! The area is a LITTLE sketch. However, it’s not anymore sketchy than the downtown of any major city in America.
