Overall, really enjoyed our stay. We were on the second floor and for the most part, was very quiet. Was in a good location-close to fun bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. The only issues we had were the room got very hot despite there being a window AC unit and the rooftop fire pits did not work.

Don’t come here unless you want to get threatened with a $500 noise complaint fine caused by their own appliances. Room is more cramped then you see online, not every room has a fridge, very secured and quiet place but confusing check in process once you get there( another stranger had the same problem), staff aren’t all helpful and will just tell you what they need to.
