What struck me most is its embrace of community-from sourcing food locally to creating a space where travelers and residents genuinely mix.

Acceptable but Flawed Stay

The room had issues. Dust covered the headboards, desk, and table. The shower had mould on the tile grout. one of the shower doors was off its bottom slide. Therefore, I could only stand on one side.

the room was clean and a nice size.

The steak i ordered was not cooked as requested. It was too overcooked for me. there was also a local festival that kept me awake until 2 am. The noise was excessive. admittedly, the hotel could not control the festival.

bland breakfasthard bacon

The breakfast was a real letdown. Limited cereal choices and only orange juice available. the toast was made from steamed sliced bread, not what i expect. the cooked breakfast looked okay but tasted bland! the bacon was so hard i could barely eat it. i didn't bother complaining because i was only staying one night, but it was disappointing.
