Lawan

We enjoyed our stay at the Docent and especially liked having an equipped kitchen and good size living room/seating. Honestly the only negative was the parking situation - the alley was sketchy at night and there are not a lot of available spaces. I think if the parking was better I would have given it 5 stars bec the lofts are very modern and clean. Great downtown location also.

Incredibly impressed with everything start to finish. Our 2 bedroom room was spacious , quiet and clean. The property is within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Perfect alternative to the traditional hotel experience for those looking for a little more room.

Comfortable and clean with great location
The room was beautiful and comfortable and location was perfect! The parking and check in process was different from a normal hotel because it was all electronic with your key being downloaded on an app. First time I did it this way, so it was a bit of a learning curve. I had to call for parking info and someone answered the phone right away and was very helpful. We would definitely stay again!
