I was disappointed in not being aware of reserving parking. I was told it was on the website, but I only saw that "On-site parking was available for $15/night". When we got there, no parking was available. We were told we had to reserve ahead of time and try to park on the street or look for a garage. This should be in bold on the website to reserve ahead. Also, note no elevator if you stay on the 2nd level. The room smelled clean, and the sheets were, so that's a positive. However, the sink had whiskers in it from the previous tenants. So, I needed to clean the entire sink area on my own. The walls in the whole space and baseboard need painting, and the caulking in the bathroom area needs to be replaced. I also found the road traffic to be loud. Overall, I was disappointed.

The staff was outstanding. Annie went above and beyond to answer our questions. Wren, nite shift was so kind when we asked for a food recommendation near by. He had excellent ideas. The fresh coffee each morning along with exceptional bakery donuts was such a treat . The vibe is fun, clean, adequate accommodations with a retro twist. Close to historical district and River Street. Just loved it.
