The noise in this hotel is unbearable. The building was apparently not build with insulation or noise control in mind. We had to move rooms to go to the second floor because of how loud the people were above us just simply walking around. The cleaning crew woke you up because every move they made felt like they were cleaning the room you were sleeping in. People talking in their rooms or in the hallway were so loud you felt like they were in their room. The noise from the train and street outside were loud enough to keep you up at night. Although it was a great location in the funk zone and had some nice amenities, we will never stay there again.

The staff was very nice and accommodating, but this hotel is insanely overpriced. The room was a shoebox, basically a foot of floorspace around the bed, with fancy decor to mask the fact that its a glorified Motel 6. They have NO parking, we had to park in public parking 3 blocks away and walk with all of our luggage. Its a quant hotel, but defintely won't go back. At least I got to experience what ita like to take a shower in a coffin

Hotel was conveniently located near restaurants and just seconds from the beach. Though the hotel room walls were a bit thin and noise was very audible, room was cozy and staff were great

Great place. The staff was very friendly. One thing to know is that the parking is valet only and at the time of this review is $38 per night. Great location. The coffee they have is really good. I'd stay there again, especially if I don't have a car.
