Location was great, staff nice and helpful. The gym could use some work. There were NO weights at all which was a bummer and the AC wasn't working well.
Overall the stay was nice.
Great option, very hospitable and cute. The front desk manager was super understanding of our last minute changes. The Schoolyard restaurant on site was also great.
Such a cute chic hotel with clean updates rooms and a charming lobby. Parking was easy and there are places you can walk or uber to easily. The staff was great and helpful. They also have darling bikes you can rent and ride downtown. It’s a great place to stay!
It's a stylish little hotel for the price. Rooms are clean and trendy. They reach out to you during the stay to see how it's going which is nice. Only downside is it is super noisy. Stomping feet above you, hallway conversations at 7am, outdoor noise. My guess is it's an older hotel they revamped, but never added in soundproofing.
I was disappointed by the property. To pay close to $400 a night and find the hallway carpet stained and lacking a good vacuuming, the rooms were ok but I found medicine caplets under our bathroom cabinet that indicated the room wasn’t cleaned well, and to sta at a $400 a night hotel and for them to only have a sports bar was really disappointing. I understand it’s a college town; you’re attracting tourist and need to be catering to your audience. The pool area was nice, and I appreciated having laundry services available.
