a decent experience overall

easy transportwine availabilityno closetspecial needs room
I found the location to be quite advantageous for seeing some sites. i could walk to many places, and the local transport was easy to use. the terrace on the 3rd floor was a nice amenity. there was a fire pit where marshmallows were toasted. Plus, free wine was offered.
The room i received was not ideal. i booked a twin bedded room since king rooms weren't available. i was given a special needs room. there was no closet or drawers, so unpacking for my stay was impossible.

superb stay

quiet streetking bedaccommodating stafflate opening
The location is fantastic. It sits on a quiet street with a stream. the rooms are large with a king bed and a chaise lounge. i found the staff accommodating and loved the blue bottle coffee in the lobby..
i found that the onsite café opened a bit late. it would be helpful if it opened earlier than 9am. this would allow guests to grab coffee before exploring.

the staff was friendly and helpful. the street was very pretty with cherry blossoms. i thought the location was great (i could walk to many places).
The breakfast was not the best. Kids would have preferred pancakes or waffles. there was a sound knocking in my room at night, usually around 11 pm to 2 am. when i checked, there was nobody there. This happened almost every night 2 or 3 times.
