Great location
Great space in a very convenient location. Lots of restaurants in the area and easily walkable to The Salt Shed. Stairs ARE narrow and steep but didn’t bother us.

Nice room, definitely be prepared for the stairs, two steep flights up to the first floor of rooms.
Somewhat odd shared kitchen setup between the rooms.
The room was spacious and clean, shower water pressure left something to be desired.

Fourth Floor Fitness Test
This place was cute, above the city streets on Division. This room was on the fourth floor, so I was not prepared to lug my heavy luggage up the whining staircase, so just be prepared. Broken shower nob, no wifi..but Cute place.

I appreciated all the text messages that helped make the check in process easy. It was a different experience not to have on site staff at check in time, but it all worked out fine.

The staff was very nice and the area around the property was very fun and lively. The most tedious part of the inn were the stairs so be prepared to be very tired once reaching your floor.

Communication with John was very simple and straightforward. That was a relief since there really isn't a "lobby" or attendant to check you in. The location couldn't have been better and the room was cozy, clean and extremely comfortable. We will be back.
