All the staff were very pleasant and helpful but a bit overpriced for the location
Pros:

Comfortable bed, near the trolley station though the location was a bit out of town, good breakfast, pleasant and helpful staff

Cons:

The pricing arrangements which go up through the day as demand increases. The price was too high for the facilities offered.

Wonderful stay
Pros:

This hotel had the BEST shower pressure- truly that was worth the entire stay to have an amazing shower experience! The hotel was really clean and had a wonderful staff. I felt safe there traveling by myself.

Cons:

Although a convenient location for transportation the rooms on the back side of the hotel are a bit noisy from traffic... but all other rooms are great.

Pros:

Appealing and unique design concept pool, bikes, vine and breakfast

Cons:

Dirty, smelled like smoke, ac didn’t work, rooms and doors were not sealed, location, not what was anticipated in photos or descriptions. Kick holes in wall, chemical burning from and moved 3 rooms in 4 hours only to check out and leave without staying due to lack of safety and expediency when an emergency arose. Nonchalant and maintenance just took their time only to make me very ill late at night breathing in chemicals from heat/ac unit.

Pros:

Stylish and remodeled. Nice staff. Access to cafe. Good hot water and showerhead.

Cons:

It was terribly located next to a highway and train. Couldn’t sleep at all first night and was forced to wear ear plugs the following nights, though they weren’t enough to drown out all the noise. Do not recommend if you are a light sleeper at all

Fun, clean, safe, absolute favorite!
Pros:

I absolutely LOVE this place! So clean and safe. We were thinking of getting a well priced hotel to just sleep so we could go across the border and ended up being one of our favorite spots we have been to. Staff is amazing! It’s very nostalgic with the decor, it’s fun and clean and the water pressure is to die for!
We will be back!
