Pro: Love the location because the hotel is in center of all the shops & restaurants on State Street. Con: The walls are thin. You can hear the people walking & the plumbing above you.

Not worth the price.
Cute boutique hotel with friendly staff but the rooms are sooooo tiny and overall wet and moldy. Bathroom had mold in all the corners and in the shower and the room had condensation on all surfaces. The room had a funky smell and was damp. The towels never dried- shower water spilled onto the floor. We had family staying there too and their room was the same. For the price, very much not worth it. Staff was nice but doesn’t make up for damp moldy rooms.

Absolutely beautiful hotel. Front desk staff was lovely, very accomodating and gave many recommendations for local restaurants and activities. Rooms are renovated and larger than many hotels I’ve stayed in SB. Location is perfect, right off from the main downtown street. Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Will absolutely stay again next time we’re in town!
