Felt like a luxury accommodation at a reasonable price. Great location, walkable to everything. Love the little touches, like having local coffee stocked in the kitchen.

Check-in and check-out are a breeze, easy access to a city parking lot on the block (needed as there was a snow ban on parking when I visited!). In terms of the space itself - clean, well appointed, spacious. Honestly a treat to stay here!

The only live person I saw was at check-in. There was some back-and-forth about my access number, where the building was, and how to get in. That person was very attentive and actually took me up to my loft. There were no directions on how to use the stove top. There were fingerprints on it, indicating the person before me may have had the same issue. The microwave was in a cabinet under the sink, and to use it, you had to sit on the floor. None of the clocks in the loft was set to the correct time; they were all different (attention to detail). There were no instructions for using the coffee maker, and after the first day, no one refilled the water, cream, coffee, or sugar. However, there was a small card with a QR code to tip someone who never came. The online description indicated a gym, and a sign stated that a gym was nearby, but it didn't specify where.

Room and amenities were great and ease of access to both the room and surrounding businesses is ideal.

I cannot say enough about our stay at The Docent. Our room was outstanding.

Loft was clean, staff was nice. Keep in mind when booking there are no laundry facilities in unit or building, no pool, no front desk, no snack/drink counter or restaurant attached, and no shuttle service from airport. You get a furnished loft with basic toiletries, cooking gear, table/drinkware, and dish tv. There is definitely a sense of "things left to be desired" especially for the pricing. I expected itinerary ideas, restaurant suggestions, etc. But none of that was available or offered.

This is in a great location and room was very spacious. Blind in bedroom was broken in down position so it was always dark in there. You are supposed to download an app that requires “always on” connection to Bluetooth to get in, but someone was available to give us card keys instead.

Not your average booking. Classy and on point. This will always be my first choice
