The staff were amazing and the property itself was very unique and clean. The sauna on the top floor was a nice extra that we utilized. No fault of the hotel but the area is unfortunately 1/2 a block in the wrong direction. If the hotel had onsite parking underground it wouldn’t have been an issue for my wife and I. Unfortunately having to walk to the offsite parking it involved passing through several street people who are openly taking drugs or are completely passed out because of it . I would stay here again with my wife but due to the heavy drug use taking place in the area I wouldn’t feel safe bringing my kids to that area .

The management staff was friendly upon arrival and check in was smooth. However, when I mentioned where we park he directed us to an outside pay parking area a block away from the hotel. I told him I’m pretty sure I read the description mentioned underground secure parking. He told me that they don’t provide that service anymore. So heads up! You will have to park your vehicle in an unsafe parking lot which is not meant for overnight parking. Not cool! There were crack heads lining the street from the parking lot to the hotel entrance. The hotel room was not as in the pictures. We booked a 2 double bed room for 4 people and what we got was a one bed with a separate pullout. The wifi password was never working. Not a clean room and the bathroom towel bar was almost falling off the wall. Things in the room needed maintenance. We would NOT stay here again.

Very unique indigenous art gallery hotel. Very informative art in every room. Very nice and hospitable staff. Perfect in everything. Drug addicts hang around the block but do not interfere with the pedestrians or hotel residents. Stores, restaurants, and transportation is just around and easy to access.

Nice room/ questionable neighborhood
The rooms were great, friendly staff and good basic breakfast. The only down fall is the location. There are lots of homeless in the area and drugs going on. We never felt unsafe but had to walk past groups of homeless people for a few blocks to get to other areas of town

The location of the hotel is very convenient. It was easy for us to get around and walk to the grocery stores, the restaurants and to the pick-up places to start our planned activities. The accessibility to the public transportation from the hotel to get to the places is great. Hotel staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Due to our flight cancellation we arrived to the hotel in the middle of the night, and we were helped by the charming securing guard to get settled without any problems. During out stay we did not have a chance to try any complimentary services the hotel has to offer due to our activities schedules. The facility itself is clean and a bit outdated. It has a unique artistic touch and it is definitely worth to explore.

Stay somewhere else...
The room was clean and comfortable enough, but the area is not safe. The homeless problem is completely out of control in this area and I saw multiple people injecting themselves or others with drugs right outside the hotel. To top it all off, when I got back home I realized they had charged me over $500 even though I had paid for my booking in full through Hotels.com and I've spent hours on the phone trying to get it remedied. Hotels.com has not been helpful and the hotel has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. Stay somewhere where you feel safe outside and they won't charge you hundreds of dollars for no reason.
