overall i'd give it a 4/10. im disappointed honestly.
Pros:

I like how they set up the decor in the lobby for the guests. Also the view out on the deck was nice as well.

Cons:

They don't have the coolest air conditioning on really hot days. We had to get a box fan. The shower didn't get hot enough or enough water pressure n the tv barely worked.

Hip place with great shared spaces to hang out, but it felt like a ‘no-frills’ experience.
Pros:

Very cool space-significantly cooler than me. I loved the lounges and outdoor patio. The LED lights in the room were fun to play with.

Cons:

No free coffee or tea. Something so inexpensive made a huge impact on our morning. No way to use the bathroom at night without disturbing my partner (lights).

Pros:

The location was wonderful. Walking distance to everything. I didn't mind the cute bed at all. Me and my fiance slept with our feet towards the TV so we didn't have to crawl over each other. The bed is huge .

Cons:

The bar staff act like you are regulars. Didn't explain anything about food. Zero personality. There was one girl on the very first day that was really nice but she was going on vacation so we didn't see her anymore. The women were at least nice to my fiance. Maybe because he was paying.
