The most perfectly unique hotel!

Such a fantastic hotel! We stayed for 4 days and fell in love with the place. The unique style was exactly what I was looking for to make our stay fun. The courtyard was the cutest! So nice to sit out there and enjoy the ambience. Even the restaurant was so cozy and the staff was so friendly! The bed was a bit too firm, but that's just my personal preference. The location was primo, too; close to do many great places all in short walking distance. Overall we LOVED our stay and absolutely will stay again in the future!

I loved how convenient and clean the property was. The location is perfect because it’s next to everything you would need restaurants, convenience stores, coffee shops. Only complaint I would have was that the bathroom door was not a door that fully closed. It’s a barnyard sliding door.
