Highs & Lows

  • Felt like home! I could have stayed a week thanks to the welcoming and unobtrusive vibe and staff.

  • Every detail was flawless. From the faucets to the furniture, and details like branded matches and a chic logo were a plus.

  • Did I mention the awesome staff? The perfect mix of available, helpful & discreet.

  • The beds. I could have stayed wrapped in soft linens and down pillows all day... unfortunately I had exploring to do.

  • They said they had french press coffee on demand. There was only drip.

  • Since there's no gym, I wish the neighboring one was free (or cheaper).
