Unique hotel, room above was a little noisy (floor noise, old building) and shower water temp was a little challenging, but overall a very nice stay.

Great Boutique Hotel
Great hotel. Building is 1919 and renovated approx a year ago. Rooms are small studios (bath and shower separate from the sink which is in the studio) Hotel has a renovated factory warehouse feel--although this building was a social club. Exposed brick, hardwood floors etc. Really nice stay. Tons of free parking and cool restaurants all within walking.

This hotel is a hidden gem! We absolutely loved everything about it. It’s conveniently located within walking distance (we are talking 2-5 blocks) of basically everything in the heart of town. And, if you want to go further, you can easily get there by car. I didn’t get pictures of our room before the kids moved their things in for the night, but I tried to capture some of the other details. There is a secure parking lot for hotel guests 1/2 block away but also street parking nearby. A cute clothing boutique & gift shop in the lobby area also. Bonus - there are eco friendly touches - for example, the hallway lights turn off if there hasn’t been any motion for a period of time. I’m coming up with the list of reasons to stay at this place again - Date night, girls weekend, who knows what else!!
