This was a really cute little boutique hotel that offered a fun bar area, a great vibe and sweet employees. If you’re going to be there to visit a college student it’s extremely walkable for the campus. We gave it a 3 star for not having hot water for showers, being nickeled and dimed for every little thing, and the one outlet that we had access to didn’t work.

Our experience has been on a steady decline with this hotel. Our last visit we had no hot water and had to switch rooms. In our haste to switch rooms, I left an expensive bag in advertently in the room. I called repeatedly to speak with a manager after six calls, left a message and have still not had a call back. It was our favorite hotel. I can no longer say that.

I booked a hotel for my son’s Army BCT graduation to give him a luxury experience after his 10 weeks in training. There was no water pressure, the shower never got hot, the pillows were horrible and flat, and the hotel had no amenities. For nearly $400 per night and a 3 night stay I would have expected more than a $10 coffee voucher.
