I loved staying overnight at a hotel that focuses on the indigenous community. It was uniquely rewarding to stay in a place that helps support indigenous artists by way of the hotel.

The hotel itself had VERY cozy nice beds, a hot shower, friendly staff, and great decor. One con of the room itself, our window balcony overlooked sketchy housing and there was a screaming tenant at an early hour in the courtyard. However, AC drowns out most of the outside noise. At no fault of the hotel (which felt safe once inside), the surrounding area felt VERY unsafe… lots of homeless, drug addicts, street smells of fecal matter/pee, etc… Also, someone tried to break into our parked car and we only knew because half of the handle was broken off. Not an area to stay in if you’re a woman alone or with just girlfriends even. I don’t get frightened easily either, I’m from a large metro and have traveled to 30+ countries, some solo. All that to say, hotel itself is nice but I wish I’d known beforehand what a sketchy area this is in because it made the experience unsettling. Just want to share this for any future travelers to consider when booking.

- Very cool native American art and decor. - We spotted a cockroach at the breakfast pastries and told staff. - There's a trimer on the wall we did not understand. I asked staff what it is. She simply said they do not go into the rooms and she did not know. No attempt to try to help or find the answer by calling anyone. Did not even want to see my photo. - Lack of hotel parking was very challenging. Staff gave us partial advice on where to park: both garages they recommended provide inadequate parking: one would only let us park until 6am. The other took our money to park until 8am but did not open until 10 am, delaying our departure from the city. One staff member offered us a parking spot in the evening but that turned out not to be accurate. Hotel management needs to provide complete written instructions so staff are not going from incomplete information.

Great stay!

This was an adorable boutique hotel. The area is a bit sketchy though with a noticeable homeless population. We had excellent service and the bed was very comfortable. Our room had stairs, so make sure you tell them if you have mobility issues.

Blood on the pillow case and sheets - when I asked for a change, I was provided with a new sheet and given a garbage bag to throw the stained sheets in. I changed the sheets myself. Explained to staff upon check out and was met with indifference rather than an apology. The room was covered in dust, with thick clumps of dust under the bed, in the corners and on the furniture. The location was sketchy, having to walk over and/or around many unhoused visibly using various drugs. Make sure you get an Uber or cab going to/from hotel. The staff was nice but clearly uninterested and ill equipped (with no onsite housekeeping at 4pm in the afternoon on a Saturday) in rectifying a very poor experience when it came to the cleanliness of the room. Moreover, the fact that the main issue was blood, I would have hoped there would be a deeper concern and response.

The hotel itself was fine, very close to gas town. I write this review just to let others know that the area was unsafe.If you plan to be out after dark. It was a short walk to nicer areas, but if you plan to be out later , you need to take a cab or uber to the hotel. Especially if you're older.
