The hotel itself is nice, with friendly staff, a great lounge area and local art. However the area outside felt unsafe with lots of sketchy people - both day and night.

Great stay!
This was an adorable boutique hotel. The area is a bit sketchy though with a noticeable homeless population. We had excellent service and the bed was very comfortable. Our room had stairs, so make sure you tell them if you have mobility issues.
