Modern, clean, and convenient. The rooms are nice, but the downstairs cafe is the real winner. Great coffee and delicious breakfast options (the acai bowls are a must-try!). Would definitely stay here again.

What a wonderful place to stay for a solo stay! It was my first time doing a solo trip away. The only thing that was a bit of a let down was the shower. The way the shower is built allows water to flow out to the bathroom floor which ended up going to the main room. Other than that it was a 10/10 stay and would recommend to anyone!

Really great location and cool modern property. Was very clean and would definitely stay here again for a short visit. The only thing that was a surprise were the bathrooms; they’re a tad rustic (really small, surrounded by a plywood structure, no mirrors) so it’s kind of like a “glamping” experience in that sense. There are no full length mirrors in the space, but the beds are really comfortable. Great for a budget stay!

This is a very unique property. Everything was contactless you entered your credit card and photo ID and they gave you a code to enter the building. The rooms were very unique.
