“I appreciate the artistic soul of this place, a hotel near downtown that's not shy about its creative spirit; it's filled with unique touches, from small galleries to ukuleles, though I found myself wishing for in-room coffee over a record player. The location, while central, can be a bit loud on weekend nights; still, the friendly staff and overall artistic vibe make it a worthwhile stay if you're seeking something beyond the ordinary.”
