When booking this trip I was looking for something special as it was for an anniversary. I needed entertainment, dining, accessible transportation, privacy, and the Okra Inn was absolutely perfect!
When the description said that the streetcar was a block away, this is no exaggeration. My boyfriend and I bought JazzPasses for the streetcar at the Walgreens directly across the street. Don't underestimate the convenience of it!. It went directly to the FQ and back, never had an issue.
There was food absolutely everywhere. And you guessed it: all accessible via streetcar. We drove to other areas for food but it wasn't necessary, but we wanted to explore and it was so convenient to have the highway about 5 minutes away from the inn.
There was always something going on: fests, music, happy hours, exploration, etc. No shortage of things to do! You just have to do your research.
The Okra Inn also had the perfect amount of privacy. We ran into other couples who were friendly, so no worries- Lindsay knows how to pick them! I could never hear their business, never had bathroom interaction problems, it was a great situation. If there were anything to mention, it would be that the door to our room couldn't lock, but it wasn't a big deal to us.
The room was clean and spacious. We were provided with exactly what we needed: good amount of power outlets, clean sheets and towels, closet with hangers, light, bedside tables and drawer space.
I can't emphasize enough how much you should select this place. I would 100% stay here again.
