"I'm going to be really fair. Our stay was actually great. Don't book if you are fuzzy and it is an issue for you wear down flooring or not so pretty decoration. I can't be #profanityerased# to pay double for something a little bit pretty. It's a decent bed, clean enough, awesome location. On the management side was awful. I booked the day before and I had to get Expedia involved the night before travelling at 10pm because I didn't have the exact address, codes for access and the necessary...

8/10 Good
"Bar on the top was consistently closed, bed was pretty hard and only accessible by climbing into it because it was against the window and two walls, that was also kind of hard, but a great location. Overall really nice stay"
