Amazing location and lovely hotel, but noisy
So many great aspects: free bike usage, location(!), employees, and water station. Unfortunately, our room was on the side above the restaurant and its outdoor seating. Loud music playing all day and the first night all night. We did ask that they turn it off by 11 and they were great about it for subsequent nights- but it as annoying nonetheless. Our room was very tiny too.

Pick Emeline!!!!!
Best hotel I’ve ever stayed in in my life! The small touches were incredible - the glass water bottles, the turn down service, the happy hour, the candles in the lobby, the little ice bags! I loved it

The staff were great and the bartenders were super cool. We loved the water/fruit station at each floor to fill up bottles for our room. Nice touch. Really great job on the property renovation as an old motel.conveniently located as well with a short walk to any fun thing to do as a tourist. I'd stay again.

Ok and needs improvement given the price
Spotty service. Terrible room first night with view of parking lot thru wet paint doors and AC would not heat and door security deadbolt wouldn’t turn. And they upgraded me to a nice room on street//lots of partying. Restaurant ok, concierge a dragon. Could improve given the price.

The Emeline is a beautiful boutique hotel. We loved the decor and the restaurant Frannie and the fox was delicious. Advice for those staying I would suggest you not take a room by the staircase or by the back street view. We had a lot of noise from the street and from the entertainment truck packing up equipment from a wedding that ended at the Emeline. Also leave your door open if you are in the suite. Most of the air conditioning came from the living room area and we were really hot until we realized we needed to leave that door open to let air flow in. They have a nice setup of nespresso coffee, tea and filtered water in the hallway. I also really liked the wine and beer hour given to hotel guests between 3-4pm. Nice touch.
