A fabulous, unique hotel. We had a great nights sleep. Decoration is quirky but really makes it. We had the 4 bed room, plenty of space. We were grateful for the fans as we stayed in the recent heat wave! Mo was very friendly and helpful!

A quirky property focused on the music industry with records and CDs covering the walls. The room that we had was very small but adequate for our needs of just sleeping.
No tea making in the room but available in the bar.
Staff were helpful and friendly.
A lot of street noise at night but ear plugs were available
Breakfast was excellent.

The vibe of this hotel is so neat. The artwork and decor is on point. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is great with many options for things to do within walking distance and just a few blocks from transportation options.
