Super easy parking and location. Staff was very friendly! Coffee shop at the front desk was a really nice touch. The facilities and furniture in the room were all well-taken care of and in great condition. Clean sheets and towels!
The floors were hardwood (not carpet) so it was easy to see hair and debris on the floor that may have been missed while cleaning.

I love the look of this funky 60s style hotel, which has been beautifully updated. The staff is very professional and eager to assist. The rooms are exceptionally clean.
I have absolutely no negative comments about this hotel. It is my second time staying here and I am a devoted fan.

Loved the vibe and style at this hotel. The staff were very polite, kind and helpful. The bed was super comfortable and the room was nice and clean with a real plant. TV was great too. Pool area nice with a classic 1950s vibe. We really enjoyed our stay here.
We went out from this charming motel to walk to a restaurant and there were sooooo many scary people around that seemed agitated or high on drugs or crazy - after about 10 mins of walking we turned around because we felt very unsafe. We live in Seattle so we am used to a lot of unsafe environments with high crime and tons of drugs. It's too bad that this hotel is in this particular location with no safe walkable restaurants, bars, shopping and convenience stores around. It is fine if you have a car, you can drive to safer neighborhoods easily. But walking right out of your hotel would be nice.

The property is in a great place near a lot of attractions. A very modern look inside and out. The parking is adequate for the location. The bar associated with the property was a great place to hang out. We did not use the pool but it look to be an enjoyable place to chill.
When we arrived, there was loud music around the pool. Nothing wrong with loud music, I like my music loud as well. However, there was a pool party going on and prevented my wife and I from joining since we were not invited.

The property was clean! Absolutely spotless. I took a bath for the first time in a hotel room as I think it can be gross to run baths in hotel rooms but this was so sparkly clean I felt comfortable to do so. Every little detail in the room was thought out. Really modern decor and design. Comfortable beds and spacious. Bright and airy. Really pleased with our stay and I’d definitely recommend and stay again. Coming from a very fussy person. I also ate at the vegan restaurant next to it, food was great and reasonable!
Nothing, I loved everything!

The location was great. We enjoyed walking to the amazing food options nearby. The staff was friendly. The room was curated and very cute.
Air conditioner didn’t work properly so we didn’t sleep well.
