Could use some work on the details: There was no body soap in the shower, no washcloths, and very cheap toilet paper. The TV did not have basic cable, the staff leaves for the day at 4pm (and check-in starts at 3pm) so you basically are on your own to deal with all this. The staff was helpful when we eventually met them the next day, but it was a little too late at that point.

Great affordable place to crash at. Our queen size bed room was super small but fully functional. Unfortunately, the shower was only cold water. This is an eco-friendly hotel so be prepared to not to throw TP into toilet. Shared kitchen and work stations would make a perfect long stay. Located to many places to eat. Dinner at Cafe Tresbé was delicious and affordable. Egg Join was the perfect meal to start our day. Both are located down the block. Location is young and hip. We lucked out with parking on the street during our stay in December. Definitely would recommend for an affordable, more of an apartment stay.

Amazing and recommend
This property is cute! It os very cleana nd the staff wete so sweet and accomodating. It is a great llcation to everything you need and more. You can walk for food and also uber for a great price to other locations. It is a self sufficient place with great safety. They also provide a quick guide to help those not familiar with the area. It is a smaller inn but that was a bonus for us. It is also a locak business so +++++

2 areas 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs had designed open spaces with no coverage. So when it rained the floor in the lobby and the kitchen upstairs the floors were wet. Maria at the front desk was so nice and so very helpful. The rest of the staff was also helpful and kind
