Room was nicely decorated. The property is an older renovated building. You could hear every step on the floors above, every flush of the toilet, and every drip of water from all the showers and sinks above. On the upside - everything else, fire pits in the courtyard made for a friendly environment. Great restaurant onsite, Dram Yard.

Staff was friendly and check in/out went smoothly. AC was locked and couldn’t get down to my preferred temp at night. They charged a $50+ fee automatically for discounts at their restaurant and gazebo bar, but neither was open during my visit. Self-parking is $15/night.
