"This hotel is in a great location and the staff was fantastic. However, there is no AC so you have to sleep with the windows open. In the summer, with almost 24 hours of daylight, this can be a challenge. Also, you hear people yelling and talking outside ALL night long. This also goes for vehicles ..."

Nice enough hotel- stupid bathroom door
"Pretty decent hotel. Has a kind of vibe of trying to be a bit too "cool". The room was comfortable and clean, but the worst part of the room was the non-locking, semi-transparent, swinging bathroom door. Really terrible design choice. Service was great and everyone was friendly."
