Convenient location allowed us to walk to all the attractions, shops, and endless dining options. The staff was friendly, the bartender was a super hard worker and great at his job, and the rooms were clean. The hotel locks the gate at night so you have to use your key to get in, which is a nice feature for safety. If you are a light sleeper, it might be too noisy for you. Not from inside, but the people outside late at night (our room was facing the street). I found it entertaining and added to...

Everything was as presented: clean, well maintained, great location, easy access. Appliances are in great condition and instructions for use are very well put together. Recommendations provided were great, food at the 3 Bind Mice was outstanding (had to go twice). Rental unit was stunning and would re-book as well as recommend without hesitation. One suggestion for improvement, if there is some way to simplify the process for parking discount. The discount is a huge benefit and we were not able...

Absolutely loved this apartment! Smooth check in process and quick responses when I reached out to them. GREAT location- with so many places to eat just across the street. Only thing I will say is to make sure you give yourself enough time before checkout, to use the washer/dryer. We could not figure it out and unfortunately it wouldn’t unlock for a very long time and our clothes were still damp but we had to leave and had no choice. Other than that machine everything was great lol.
