"The entrance has a mat that says “good vibes only” and that’s exactly what we experienced ! The staff was friendly and helpful when we came early , luggage storage was a huge plus , & thankfully there was availability for early check in too! The room AC worked really well , bathroom had a cute lighting to it , and the bed was comfy . It’s a little bit of a smaller room but we honestly loved it . The hotel is smack in the middle of everything and about a 4 min walk to the red line which you can...

"Staff were amazing, from greetings in the morning to the cleaning staff being very helpful and accommodating. Good overall experience and would definitely book here again. Only compliant was that in my particular room, the shower looked to have been repaired as there was a crack in the sidewall that were covered in clear caulk, why not white to hide it? The shower door was also not aligned properly so it did not close all the way, damaging the mating piece."

Staff was not well informed to give information about nice/trendy restaurants and the best activities to...
