Stay would have been much better if there wasn’t a fire alarm both of the nights we stayed. Showers could use some updating, but every else was good.

The hotel consists of two buildings. The one we were placed in had no elevator to our second story room. At our ages (70s) we did not appreciate having to lug bags up a flight of stairs. Also hotel charges a $10 fee that was not described in Expedia listing.

Neat little hotel, just may not really be for us
Rooms were small and gave that efficiency apartment vibe.The futon was hard as a rock and very uncomfortable to sit and sleep in, our child let us know that the next day. No TV in the bedroom, and the bed was not comfortable either. The room's AC was underpowered and no matter how you changed the settings, the fan speed and cooling never changed. The outdoor patio was nice, with lots of seating and fire pits.The staff were very friendly and helpful. Neat pocket hotel design, but there were rooms with parking lot facing doors, so it's more of a motel/hotel depending on what room you get.

Bed is low to the ground so if you have bad knees i would not recommend. Had a lock for the bathroom but no way to actually lock it.

Good overall
More unique decor than most hotels, including record player. Nice employees. Cool bar with a couple unique drinks. Small room on first floor had a tiny patio, slight scent of a basement, and ear plugs if you might be bothered by minor road noise. Coffee and instant oatmeal for breakfast; a couple coffee shops within 4 blocks. Glad I tried it.

The hotel has a very fun vibe and I could see where on a night when there was music it could be awesome. They let guests borrow three vinyl albums to play in the room's record player, very cool. The decor is midcentury modern with nice little touches throughout. Unfortunately for us, we got the last room and it had a very musty smell. The room was cold and if we used the heat, the smell was overpowering. The flooring is super thin carpet tiles over concrete so felt cold and a little funky. I probably wouldn't stay again but I would go there to listen to music.

The hotel was very cute and clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. There’s a record player in the room, and we could check out up to 3 records at a time from the front desk. There were also bikes and board games to check out, all included in the resort fee. Parking was tricky though. Parking lot is conveniently located but it’s difficult to find a spot in a limited parking area if you arrive past 8 pm.

It was surprisingly quiet given that it is also a motel style hotel. The AC was awesome even though it was 90 outside!

Quirky boutique hotel, great location near downtown. No microwave, just refrigerator. Record player in room, records available at the front desk. Attached bar with appetizers, no full restaurant. Fried cheese curds and fries were excellent. Shower had no shelf for soap, shampoo, etc. Biggest negative: carpet had apparently been recently shampooed and feet/socks were wet the entire 3 days. Minor negative: policy is that housekeeping doesn't come at all during your stay, only after you leave.

Nicely appointed room. Comfortable bed. My only complaint was how damp the room was. I turned up the air to 77 from 65, but the dampness never went away. Close walking to downtown.
