"pretty obscure location and you definitely need to pay for parking - there is no street parking any time of day or night. Food in bistro was good for what it is - doesn't feel like a "restaurant" Reception staff who checked us in was in no way friendly - other staff were a huge contrast to him fortunately. I felt badly for food service folks covering in an obviously low staffing situation. Room was top quality and all we expected."

"We arrived late in the evening around 10pm and after a long day on the road, we hoped for a smooth entry and the host delivered. Instructions to enter the unit and access WiFi were clear and straightforward. Thermostat was at a nice 75F to help with the chill outside.Unfortunately the dishwasher did not work which the host did inform us ahead of time. It seem the did in earnest try to have it repaired in time so I appreciate the attempt and the communication. Everything else lights, appliances, furniture, plumbing were in good order. While we didn't use it much, the kitchen was well stocked with tools including glass lunch containers! Wonderful touch in this tight economy. Thanks to our hosts for making use feel like welcome guests."
