Staff is great. Lauren helped me through the process. Location of hotel is A+. This hotel is for seasoned traverlers who want a great place to stay. No pool spa etc. Room balcony looked over the park and the Irish Pub was right underneath my room. Fun.

If you've ever dreamed of checking into a hotel without seeing a single staff member, you're in luck. This place operates entirely via email and text—like staying in a cozy bed and breakfast run by friendly ghosts. The invisible staff are oddly comforting, always available, yet never spotted. Now, the real adventure? Arriving on a summer Wednesday. Thanks to the local farmer’s market, guests are directed to a barricade west of the park, down an alley next to the public restrooms (yes, really). From there, you're escorted by car through the market. Shoppers part like it’s the world's most polite parade—of one very confused guest vehicle. It's equal parts awkward and legendary. Once inside, though, it’s a gem. It’s got all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end stay, but with the cozy soul of a B&B. Cute gathering spots, the amenities are spot-on, and everything in town is walkable. It’s right next to a beautiful park and directly behind the friendliest little Irish pub you'll ever stumble out of. In conclusion: 10/10 would be guided through a maze of heirloom tomatoes again. The invisible staff? Lovely ghosts. The vibe? Wholesome yet mysterious. Just be sure to arrive with a sense of adventure—and maybe a horn to clear the kale crowd..

The hotel was very clean and the room was beautiful. The only weird part was that it is not staffed, so when you arrive you have to call for assistance at the front "lobby" door to go through the check in process including giving your credit card again before they provide your access code. I wasn't aware of this initially, but after check in, everything else was amazing.

Adorable room in amazing location and walking distance to the entire town. A bit noisy street but room had a white noise machine with bird song playing when we first opened the door. TV did not work but room was clean and spacious....air vent on wall blows hard onto heads in bed and had to be shut off to sleep. Air BNB feel....
