A nice little hotel with a quirky vibe. Room was small but bed was very comfy. Updating little things like towel racks will go a long way. Loved that it was very walkable to The Greek where we watched a concert. Eric at the front desk was fabulous. Enjoyed our stay!

I was charged a daily destination fee at checkout, despite having fully prepaid for my stay through Expedia. This fee was never disclosed in advance and came as a surprise. When I asked about any additional charges during check-in—the staff did not mention it at all. Because of this lack of transparency, I feel the transaction was neither fair nor provided proper value

I’ll start by saying that the staff was amazing. My low rating is based on the fact that this hotel is listed as 4 star hotel and its price. It’s nowhere near a 4 star. 2-3 star at best.
