What really stood out to me was the overall aesthetic and the thoughtful amenities. The hotel has a beautiful, welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. Breakfast was great, and the highlight for me was the latte machine in the lobby—such a nice touch! I also loved the cucumber-infused water, which made the space feel refreshing and elevated. Overall, a really enjoyable stay.

Clean room and friendly staff. Like the free coffee. Not a great neighborhood location.

Not a well run operation. Desk staff is clueless and unhelpful. Breakfast doesn’t include bread, butter, much of what you’d expect. No daily room or towel service unless you request one. Room was clean.
Moji was so awesome! Great service, clean space, great location. Had a window room which was a bit chaotic, but nothing that kept me awake. Perfect stay, will be back!
Pretty good place just keep in mind the walls are very thin and you will hear your neighbors even slightly cough but the staff are incredibly friendly!
Place is small but comfy, parking around is limited unfortunately a lot of unhoused population around the hotel.

The bed is comfortable and no complaints about cleanliness, but you can hear everything through the walls and the neighborhood is pretty noisy and a little sketchy. Staff was courteous. Restaurant next door was excellent. Coffee machine in the lobby seemed to put chocolate in every coffee. Strange.
I liked the decor of this Hotel, it was very accessible to the train, local restaurants, and shopping.

My interactions with staff were friendly and helpful. Lobby was nice and had a nice coffee machine. Hotel was deceiving from the pictures. My room door had a missing/broken keypad, no lighting in the shower, and suite with no mini fridge. Would I want to stay here again, no… but if it was the cheapest out of the area when I needed to be back then I would.
