Super cute hotel with such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly - from valet to the front desk, as well as everyone at the restaurant and bar. I especially loved that they offered a texting option for any requests, which made everything feel so convenient and seamless. The room was spacious with modern furniture and very comfortable beds. The walls were a bit thin, but thankfully it never got too noisy during our stay. Also - the vanilla latte is a must. So good! I’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend staying here.

The hotel is ideally located and the room was spacious. I did not realize that the hotel is dog friendly to the point that 75% of customers had dogs in the lobby, elevators, and rooms. I felt like I was at a dog hotel. I am a dog lover but it was just a bit much. There were dogs sitting on furniture, dogs barking in the lobby, and dogs barking while we tried to enjoy the room. The restaurant bar and restaurant were enjoyable and the staff was helpful. If it were not for the extreme number of dogs I would return.
