Not great- service lackadaisical

Service not a priority- from carrying your own bags up the front stairs, to not cleaning rooms, to plastic cups in the outdoor bar, to general staff attitude. Third stay but place has slipped and will try somewhere else next time.

It smells so good as soon as you walk in the door. The desk staff were polite and gave us information about the surrounding area that helped fill our 2 night stay. I love the rustic/industrial feel of the property. We felt safe as we walked to the neighborhood bars and food trucks. We would stay again!
