The hotel is located in a fun area, perfect for exploring South Congress on foot. The rooms could use more lighting, but the service provided by Jake in valet was excellent. The dining experience could be improved, but the location is fantastic for those who want to enjoy SoCo without driving.

My stay at the hotel was quite unique. The rooms had a distinctive charm, likely hosting memorable parties in the past. However, the absence of a shower curtain was a downside. The service was truly exceptional, with attentive staff going the extra mile. The location was a mixed bag, offering a vibrant experience but feeling slightly intrusive.

I had a great time staying at this hotel. The location is amazing, right by the pool and just steps away from South Congress Ave in Central Standard. The rooms were comfortable, but could use more lighting, electrical plugs, and a chair. The service was exceptional, with super friendly and helpful staff going out of their way to make my stay memorable. The dining experience was good, with delicious home-grown organic fruits. Overall, a fantastic place to stay with a few areas that could be improved.

The hotel's location is fabulous, in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty to do just steps away from South Congress Ave. However, in a handicap room, I found the lack of a shower curtain troubling, and my privacy felt violated.
