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!
Hotel was great, the staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. The restaurant downstairs wasn’t for me but there is a lot of food options within 2 blocks.
