“The mid-century modern aesthetic is a refreshing departure, complemented by a team that consistently goes the extra mile, making check-ins and local recommendations a seamless part of the stay. Its proximity to downtown is a distinct advantage for exploring the city on foot, and the well-maintained, comfortable rooms provide a quiet respite. While communication hiccups can occur, the overall experience points to a property that understands hospitality well.”
