Fabulous Boutique Hotel
Pros:

Lovely hotel with a spacious room, gorgeous mural in the room, comfy bed and well-appointed bathroom with double sinks. The room includes a Keurig coffee maker with local coffee and a dorm-size refrigerator. Staff were very kind, efficient and helpful. We were on the 6th floor and had a nice city view from the massive windows in the room.

Pros:

Loved the atmosphere and the staff friendliness. Love the pet friendliness!

Cons:

It would be nice if purchases at the restaurant and room service could just be tallied to the room charge.
A few extra amenities like mini bar or bathrobes in the room would be nice for the price.
