I really loved my stay. The annex staff & the neighborhood were my favorite parts
Jody, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

During the day, The Annex area is quirky and interesting with tonnes of very good graffiti art. But, there was no place close or open for breakfast and I’m not sure I’d want to stray too far from the hotel after dark. But there are tonnes of restaurants nearby for dinners.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Everyone there was very nice and helpful. The room had a combination of LPs and books that I really enjoyed relaxing to in the evening. Super comfy bed.

Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

All around excellent hotel option. Great location and amenities, lobby, free coffee in the morning is ah-plus, clean & tidy rooms. The only shortcoming was that the tiled shower needs a deep, thorough cleaning as the floor & lower part of the wall was getting black with mildew. All and all I recommend.

Morgan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I really.love the cool vibe if this hotel So easy toncheck in and out. Staff are great! Love the bar and lounge area, record player and records in room. Lots of space and natural light. Lovely toiletries. The only thing better would be some sort of parking deal closer, more than 2 thin towels in the room, a steamer or iron in the closet, and netter shower ( it was constantly hit and cold and leaked into the bathroom). But we would stay here again in a minute! Location is so great for subway, restaurants, etc
Louise, 1-night trip

jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

When I came, the people at the front desk were very helpful. Somebody offered to bring one of my bags up to my room. And then when I went to my room, unfortunately the sink was clogged and somebody came right away to fix it and my room ended up being really great!
