Pros -Great breakfast and pre-dinner (530pm) snacks (lots of variety). -Bed very comfortable -I usually wake up in hotels, but we didn't hear anything in the hallway, we were at the end of the hallway away from the elevator. -Nice cool temp - it was hot outside. -Close walking distance, but also the UBER came right to the door. -Right beside the Citadel -Checkout at noon - usually 11 in most areas. -Nice to have a kitchen to store/reheat food. Cons -Breakfast done at 930, a bit early, but I was able to bring food up to the room to people who were sleeping. -The parking is not in the building, more of a "need to know", unload everything to the lobby then take the car to park. Same on checkout, bring everything to the lobby, then go get the car. Overall a great stay.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (268 reviews)
We stayed at this property for one night. It is more like an Airbnb than a hotel. Our unit was located on the first floor on top of a coffee shop. Access to the property is through passcodes and there are no staff. There is no elevator in the property and there were 15-20 stairs to reach each floor. We didn’t mind climbing the stairs but it can be a challenging for some people. The room was very clean. Mattress was queen size but very comfy. Bedding were clean too. There was a leak from AC in the room making a wet floor which was a bit disappointing. There are no parking spots on the property and we had to park by the street across the property.
