Fantastic stay!! Immaculate room & lobby, every detail is covered down to the clean scents everywhere & extra tall window coverings. The unique room layout was well thought out & provides so much storage for small & larger travel items. Great location & views of town. The coffee shop/bakery is one of the best we've been to & added a unique & unforgettable touch throughout the entire hotel. The service from the initial walk-in to the check-out + coffees to go was outstanding. We'll definitely recommend & be back ourselves! Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!!

Booking Process We booked a room through Expedia and the first option was a room with no window.($18 with our Expedia credit) we chose the next room which was $40 with a City view. The room was amazing but the City View apparently is a window 10’ up, so I couldn’t tell you what the view was. When I asked staff if we had the City Viiew they said no and used the excuse that not all the details come through using booking sites. Checkin We were arriving around 9pm. We were surprised when the hotel called to find out when we would be coming because the lobby closes at 7 and we had to go to the bar across the street to get out room key. When we arrived the bar didn’t have the key but it wasn’t a big deal. He took us to the hotel and got us set up. Room The room was great, minus the window situation. It was clean and very quiet. It felt like having a private loft. Theres a bar across the street and you are in the heart of the town.

We stayed 2 days . Our room was amazing and the beds are the best beds in all the hotels I stayed in. Comfortable and smelled so clean. The only downside to our room was no windows. Loved the room but couldn’t tell if it was day or night. Customer service was amazing, those girls were the best. I can’t stress how much you will enjoy your stay.

Very good conversion from an old building. One of our rooms had windows, one didn’t. Love the loft layout. Rooms were very quiet. clean, well furnished; having a heater in the bathroom was fabulous! They let us look at a room to decide whether we wanted to stay there. Very easy friendly checking the coffee shop counter, particularly good cup of coffee as we got on the road in the morning.
