What a great place to stay! Shawn (or maybe it's Shaun or Sean) and Xavier were fantastic hosts. The hotel is in a great location, walkable to lots of good restaurants, and (if you're a fan of classic TV) the Brady Bunch house is less than a mile away!

Area around it seemed unsafe. But while booking it showed pictures of the outsides looking like a little bungalow with its own parking spot, when we arrived they took us around to the other side of the property and it was more of a motel with random parking.

Disliked: Amenities
I had a good experience at this hotel. The room was impeccably clean, with fresh linens, spotless surfaces, and a calming, minimalist design that made it feel like a true retreat. Everything was thoughtfully arranged—from the cozy bed to the well-lit workspace—and the air smelled fresh and inviting. The bathroom was equally pristine, stocked with quality toiletries and fluffy towels. I appreciated the quiet atmosphere and how well-maintained everything was. It’s clear the staff takes great pride in keeping the rooms in top condition. Highly recommend for anyone who values cleanliness, comfort, and a peaceful night’s sleep!
