Cheap and nice
Pros:

Cute and clean

Cons:

We didn’t realize we were that close to the highway. It was loud. Then again, we got out of town in no time.

Good but could be better.
Pros:

No check in desk. All of it is over the phone and much quicker.

Cons:

Parking filled up INSANELY fast and there were maybe 2 outlets in our entire room. The bathroom is also extremely small so it wouldn’t be a great room for someone with a wheelchair or crutches. Even just a bigger person would have issues using the bathroom.

Super clean and cute. Not great if you have kids with you. Too close to the road and just enough of a sketchy atmosphere
Pros:

Clean, cute

Cons:

Small, steep stairs, man on phone outside every time we were outside. Hard to manage next to street with small children.

Basic hostel room for budget traveler.
Pros:

Hotel room was clean, bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Calling it a "boutique hotel" was very misleading. It is more like a budget hostel. Very basic. Plywood platform under mattress stuck out at corners and caused injury.
