"Hands down the best Boutique Hotel we have stayed at in years. Everything about this hotel was 10 out of 10. Comfortable, clean, cool vibe, location, parking, Roof Deck, Free drinks/snacks/coffee. I would highly recommend. The only negatives were the online check-in felt a bit overly complicated for a one night stay (similar to some VRBO property managers for weekly/monthly stays) and street noise was annoying."
