Eclectic and convenient
This is my kind of hotel—eclectic, comfortable, conveniently located to shops and restaurants. I love the quirky decor with books everywhere and the open indoor courtyard. Cute design.

Motel was charming
Beds were very comfy
The shower however was awful and not enough water pressure to wash , especially not enough pressure to wash your hair. That was very disappointing. Location is excellent

The staff was absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us. The courtyard was nice to hang out it with our friends. The couple of things that would be better is more outlets in the rooms and maybe some charging stations in the courtyard. Also the shower pressure could be better and the way it's set up to much water got on the floor because the glass enclosure wasn't wide enough. Other that that the room was nice and clean.

Minimalist construction
I was a little late at check-in and was thankful for the attendant who stayed at 930pm. The room itself: there was a gap in the door that let in all of the neon glow light from atrium. The heating system made loud noises all night, and with concrete everywhere, nothing could absorb/quiet the noise. Very sleepless night. The bathroom had quite a fee hairs stuck to the door, so not as clean as I would like. Bed and pillow were comfy as I watched the time tick by due to insomnia. Recommend bringing eye masks and ear plugs to future guests.
