Pros:

Loved the decor and layout. Was very cute 😊
The Restaurant/Bar was very cozy and we enjoyed our evening there.

Cons:

The shower is a complete liability! Flooring made from SLICK backsplash tiles with zero friction. My girlfriend slipped and hurt hip and sprained her foot.

Also, there was only a quarter roll of toilet paper when we checked in. Minor issue. But very important.

We loved the stay. Was pleasantly surprised by the overall charm of the hotel.
Pros:

The location was a little sketchy. It's in a neighborhood rather than a commercial setting. The
neighborhood needs a little bit of an upgrade. Cars are parked in the yard and a lack of home maintenance gave us a
cause for concern. The grounds and the ambience of the hotel was very neat and quaint. A special little place. Kyle was very helpful and very cordial. He went out of his way to accommodate my son's request to print some music for
his upcoming band tryout. Don't be afraid to book this hotel. You will be quite surprised! The initial trepidation was overwhelmingly surpassed by the quaint, tucked in hideaway with many sprinkles of care. We would definitely book again.

Cons:

The only thing that could've been better is out of the control of the hotel. The surroundings to be brought up to par to
match the hotel. It's a shame the hotel is skirted by properties of shanty.

Pros:

Beautiful and unique hotel

Cons:

From the bottom floor we couldn’t see the creek at all due to the overgrowth of brush.
