Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms were very clean and beds are comfortable. They pointed out the free parking areas which was much appreciated. Once you figure out the one way streets in the downtown, its all good. And a quick 2 minute walk to the hotdog stand....

Staff was the best. Went out of their way in every way. Location is perfect. It is a bit noisy but that is only because it is located in a bustling area, replete with bars and restaurants. Close to the harbor and everything downtown. It is truly a best kept hotel secret in this marvelous city.

Lovely boutique hotel. Decor is so fun! Very comfortable beds. Spacious room. Located on a loud street so you’ll likely utilize the disposable earplugs they provide :) Excellent stay.
