The location was great and close to lots of things. We weren’t aware that we needed to make parking reservations beforehand. If that had been communicated more efficiently (bc we did call about late check in) it would’ve improved the experience.

Very good stay
Nice family room, bathroom door did not close right or lock though. Shower pressure was ok, just a shower curtain. Bathroom and bedroom was clean. Bed was very comfortable. Staff was very nice and friendly. Rooftop bar and coffee bar were great amenities!

The hotel was fine. But the next time we stay there, we ask for a room NOT facing the main street. Could hear all the cars driving past.

Great stay!
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It was so roomy, clean, and very comfortable. There was some days that I did not wanna leave the room because it was so nice. I would definitely stay here again. The plus side of it is that there are plenty of restaurants nearby so you can easily walk to any of them without going far.

Great stay
Wonderful in every respect. Staff was great, having 2 restaurants on-site was very welcome, and the character of the place is pretty cool. It's an old seed factory/warehouse so there's a lot of interesting architectural tidbits all over the place. Perfectly clean. Smaller rooms than I expected but tasteful. Very quiet rooms internally, the only noises came from outside, through the windows. Side note: parking sucks. The parking ramp is small and fully occupied and tight corners to get in and out, so don't bring your biggest car.
