So, the staff was lovely and the room was really comfortable (including the mattress) I had an issue with the temp in my room, but staff took care of it right away. The main issue,is the nightly noise from the alley, which ran under my room. Both nights there were large trucks making tremendous noise anywhere between 4-5:30 am. Somehow, this needs to change before I stay again.

This new hotel's staff is so friendly. We had a room above the lobby desk. It had what we needed, excellent toiletries, strong water pressure and clean. It is minimal in size but the design is excellent. There is no elevator or frig but that was no problem for us. In walking distance to so many restaurants, bars and shops. The only strange thing was walking out your room door and people sitting there having coffee n visiting from the coffee shop below but really didn't hear them.

We stayed here twice within a week as stopovers on our way to/from a vacation, and will definitely do so again. Loved the walkability of the neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and nightlife options. The rooms were clean and nicely appointed (charging stations in convenient location, coffee/tea station, nice toiletries, storage shelves and hooks exactly where you’d want them, etc). The staff were very kind and helpful. Overall a great stay.

It was noisy with the construction across the street from building a huge building. Door to room was extremely hard to close as desk clerk said the building had settled and the door would need to be replaced. Huge glob of caulking on side of sink and little panel in ceiling was hanging down. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Had expected the room to be bigger according to the pictures online. Would stay here again when they get the rooms fixed. Would not let me add photos.
