Great spot to stay! Right in the middle of all of Hillcrest’s hotspots. Easy check-in with staff / hotel dog, who felt more like a friendly neighbor. The lobby turns into a breakfast spot at 8AM so grabbing a quick bite and coffee before heading out is a must. The hotel is also next to a public parking lot, which saved us a headache using SpotHero for the entire weekend without issue.

The hotel is ideally located in the Hillcrest gayborhood:) The owners are both kind and personable—and their in-house cafe is delicious. Check-in was very easy. I got lucky with street parking while I was there. I’d definitely stay again!

Staff was great, I got assistance with parking since I had no idea where to go. The room was smaller than I expected and im 6'2" but it wasn't a deal breaker. Great location with 711 nearby for midnight snacks.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner is super friendly and chill. As long as there is communication on both sides, I think it's a win/win situation. The parking garage is a bit small but other than that everything else was just as I imagined. : ) I can't wait for the future trip.

Modern, clean, and convenient. The rooms are nice, but the downstairs cafe is the real winner. Great coffee and delicious breakfast options (the acai bowls are a must-try!). Would definitely stay here again.
