Always a great place to stay! Rooms are comfortable and spacious. Love the decor! Can walk to everything but far enough away to be quiet. Great breakfast.
Great place in awesome location, nice clean room with beautiful design and comfortable bed
Very friendly staff who upgraded our room to a suite with large living room and very modern bathroom ( thank you again )
Super elegant breakfast with only healthy food
Definitely visiting again
We totally enjoyed our stay. Peter was very helpful with suggestions of local eateries and things to do around town. There were fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the lobby, with access to coffee and a good selection of tea. Our room was on the second floor. They upgraded us, which was a nice surprise. Accommodations and linens were very clean. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, we will definitely return!
Clean and spacious king suite. Comfy bed. Parking was tight. Area around place not visually appealing, nothing but parking lots. Close enough to restaurants to enable you to walk into town. Several good restaurants nearby.
Fun, funky, convenient get away. Great location within a short walk to many shops and restaurants but located on a quiet side street behind the art museum.
The staff was amazing especially when we had to adjust our stay. They worked with us to refund one night’s stay when we had to leave early unexpectedly

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
enjoyed my stay. The room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable. I felt like i was staying in a home, not a hotel room. Loved the variety of breakfast items, the Chia seed pudding my favorite. Coffee was excellent offered all day a bonus. Home made cookie at night was a nice way to end the day. The staff was friendly and and there whatever you need. i look forward to staying there again. This is HOME.
Very clean. Has a home touch to it. Wonderful location. Walkable to downtown
