Really liked the art deco vibe of the hotel. The room and bed was very comfortable, and the indoor hot tub was a welcomed retreat after a long travel day. Breakfast was fine but the only downside was parking — only valet available and it took a long time to get our car, even when giving notice. Otherwise a good stay and convenient location.

Great little boutique hotel with a wonderful location directly across the street from the Museum and the marina and about a 15 minute walk to the cable car.
Wonderful art throughout the entire hotel and beautifully curated.
The hippopotamus restaurant is great with a great view.
Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Good location down town next to the bay. Valet parking for $50 a night. Plenty of snacks and drinks in the mini bar. Room was large with a tub to soak in and curtains to keep out the light.
