Check-in process needs to improve. Room with poor location given to an Expedia VIP when the property was not close to full. This has been a consistent problem on recent stays at this property. Seems to be a result of inexperienced/new staff doing the check-in.

A great hotel. I was here for a film festival and it was perfectly located for that. But it was also just a very solid place to stay. Solid vibes, good food, and just really cool. Great bed too, a rarity in hotels

The carpenter was a lovely experience as it’s a very unique Concept in a fun city. The Room comes with earplugs as the hotel accommodations are pretty much converted dormitories, but they are styled well and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
