I am super disappointed in the stay I had here. I had read some reviews prior to booking about the noise but was hoping that was just an unlucky experience people had. Unfortunately, the noise isn’t just from your neighbors. It is from the restaurant downstairs. The music / loud banging goes till at least 2AM. I was there two nights and had horrible sleeps because of the noise. The beds were pretty comfortable, and the rooms were nice but that DOES NOT justify the price of this place. I am bummed that I paid as much as I did, and I promise you are way better off staying somewhere else. The idea of the hotel is interesting, as it is all self-service and very difficult to impossible to get any help from staff as they are not on site and are horrible at responding quickly. Part of what you pay when you go to a hotel is the hospitality and customer service, which this hotel definitely lacks. Again, please reconsider from staying here. I was hoping my experience would be better than others, however it was just the same if not worse. To the hotel staff — fix the noise problem. It is not okay.

Charming part of town Coffee shops and restaurants nearby (walking). Room charming and comfortable as well. The bed sagged a bit. I’m not one for no customer service present. I found it confusing to check in and figure out how to get a key card made (kiosk available at 1st floor exit door) I did not even hear back after leaving a voice message on the first day trying to check in- that was frustrating. I left a message the 2nd day in morning due to no TV service and didn’t hear back until 4pm. Another big complaint and warning to future guests is to Not stay in room 205 or on second floor above the restaurant directly below. The noise was so loud and sounded like furniture being constantly moved and doors slamming until 2am! Even with earplugs it was hard to sleep! I will stay somewhere else next time.
