The hyper-local dining experience, with its on-site urban farm, stands out, although some past guests mention breakfast service can be chaotic.

Mediocre stay, SOME issues noted

small roominadequate towel racks
The room assigned was rather disappointing. The size was SMALL and it felt cramped with two people. This resulted in unwanted noise disrupting any attempts at relaxation. I also noted the absence of certain amenities in the bathroom, such as adequate towel racks.
