"Fynn the manager went above and beyond to help us get situated and upgrade our room for no extra cost. The property was nice - very modern and obviously recent. My only minor complaint is their style choice to focus on appearance over functionality, but some people like that so not a real issue. I would stay there again."

"Loved the check-in check-out staff, as well as the lounge/kitchen/beautifully sunshine-y area. Slightly disappointed about the shower situation and lack of mirror in the single queen room - it would’ve been not only brighter but also the desk is just perfect for the light fixture to reflect. Luckily I brought a small mirror but would’ve appreciated a wide range wall mirror or a full body mirror - would’ve made a huge difference."
