We enjoyed our stay here and will use this same Hotel again. Location was great.Very easy walk to Bay Street and waterfront.Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Room was clean and neat. Bathroom was top notch. Only one drawback, parking is a little tight and limited.

I was told when I made my reservation that there is an elevator. There is NOT. They were kind enough to move me to street level, but office is on second floor. Bum knee issues. The hotel’s location to everything is wonderful and they met our pet friendly need. However, they tell you after checking in that if your dog makes any noise that they will call you to return to the room immediately and perhaps charge you some extra fee. Rather than risk any issues with dinner out with old friends coming to an abrupt end, we changed restaurant and took our dog

The rooms are stylish and spacious. The available amenities (coffee shop, cocktails, gym, off campus pool, bikes, etc) was an impressive listing. The stay was quieter than I expected because of my preference to being downtown. The property security allayed my vehicle safety concerns. I look forward to my next stay in the area.

Shanae was really nice and very professional. It was very late when we checked in because we got a late start on our trip. She called to check to see if we were still going to keep our reservations. We were an hour away. The room is very comfortable, clean and roomy. The shower was wonderful. This is a small property. There is no pool or onsite laundry facility. City Java is on the property, kinda like a scaled back Starbucks but more personable. I give this property 5 stars!

The cleaning fluids they use are overpowering when you enter the room and leave a slippery residue on the bathroom floors. Also, it’s a bit inconvenient the way they manage their front desk; no one is usually there and you have to page them to come to the front desk. Nice people though.

Upon check in, the bathroom floor was slimy from cleaning liquids that were not removed. It was as though the floor was mopped but not dried, so the slimy cleaning fluid was just distributed around the floor. Also, I had to wait 15 minutes for a desk clerk to show up when checking out around 9 am. I complained about these things at check out and the owner called and left a voicemail to return the call, which I did, but no one ever returned the call.

The staff was very friendly, I’ve stayed here in the past and had a great experience, that’s why I chose to stay here this time. When I checked in everything seemed great. Got to the room, going over the room, the shower head was filthy, the GM came and scrubbed it, I mentioned there was mold above the entrance of shower, she said it was just stains, mentioned sink had black film in it, she cleaned that also. Spent the night, woke up the next morning, congested, got in shower, the smell from the water made me nauseous, then I noticed all the mold everywhere, took photos sent to my husband, it was black mold, took videos and photos of room, called office, she said she was going to refund for the inconvenience and that she was so sorry, seemed very sincere, I was extremely upset, as I’ve been sick from BM before, got home and get and email saying she came and cleaned and I was fine with the job she did and I waited til my stay was over to complain and that she was only partially refunding me now. Very disappointed and I feel that she only

It's definitely a different style of stay. It's a refurbished motel. Basically, they took a motel room and put in a fancy bathroom. The "soaking" tub is so deep that, short people like myself could not get in or out easily. Neither the tub nor the shower has grab bars. The ad touts room service, but there isn't any. Additionally, you have to request ice from the front desk. You do not have any access to the ice room. No microwave either. It's overpriced for sure. Very convenient to Bay Street, the waterfront park, shopping, restaurants. The "kids" who ran the office while we were there were wonderful.
