I stayed here for an artist residency and was super pleased to check in so easily, but communication was a little weird. I sent my host a couple of messages asking about early check in and never got word back, then half way through my stay I got a text from an unknown number asking how it's going at the Airbnb, so that communication in the future could be a lot more clear. Location was perfect for me as I was surrounded by food and close to the Botanical gardens. This hotel is an older one paying tribute to it's vintage roots. I really loved the atmosphere, but be aware that their restaurant is very pricey and this city location has a high amount of homeless people everywhere you walk. There's a Target, pharmacy, Ross and plenty of other stuff nearby, so it's great location if you don't want to drive and don't scare easily. I also really loved too that there's a gym available.
