Overall good accommodation for money. Friendly staff and an amazing location. Only thing I’d say is that the walls are far too thin and it was quite loud.

Great location, cute with lovely lounge

Great location, super cute hotel, especially the lobby area. Was a very nice touch to get a drink upon check-in and the staff was lovely. Couple of things in our room that could have been better: 1) there was no outlet in the bathroom (!?!) & 2) it was a double bed (the room overview said it would be a queen) in a queen frame. Because the frame was too large for the bed, we kept mud-judging where the corners were and our shins are covered in bruises - ouch!

I really enjoyed the quirky and thoughtful decor throughout the building. The staff greet you with a complimentary cocktail and the adjoining restaurant serves delicious food with a fun and young vibe. Our room door knob needs replacing and I would have loved a coffee machine and supplies provided.
