This property was SO well designed! I loved feeling so "fancy" while staying here. There were lots of clear directions for all the amenities. I loved how walkable it was - close to lots of food and entertainment!

We stayed at Lokal for our wedding weekend. It was absolutely perfect - the room was pristine and beautiful. There was spotify included in the in room iPad as well as in unit w/d. Check in was easy and we even got a complimentary bottle of prosecco! We highly recommend Lokal for any special occasion!

I love the whole "self check-in" option. I received all the info needed to access the building and room ahead of time and getting in was no problem. The "room" is bright, airy, and spacious; a cute studio apartment basically. We only stayed a night but it has everything you'd need for a longer stay, including a W/D. Located in a great part of town, with parking and lots of places to eat within walking distance. Would definitely stay again!

Such a special special special place. Gorgeous interior design and so my heart and thoughtfulness in the rooms. Super cool overall hospitality concept. Every detail was thorough and perfectly placed. Luxe without feeling stuffy. Lived in and homey while still being organized and subtle. Neighborhood was great and the in room guide was like your best friend giving the “lokal” scoop on where to go/eat/see. Couldn’t have been happier…unless an elevator could be added for carrying my kiddos belongings up the narrow and steep stairs. All part of the period-appropriate charm!

The room was beautiful and well appointed. I agree with some others that the curtains need to be darker bc the sun blasts into the room in the morning on this side of the building (we were in the Will room). Refrigerator was making some kind of high-pitched whining when we got in after our concert (after midnight) so we had to wear ear plugs to sleep…and the wooden bed frame is very creaky when your partner rolls over. It was very comfortable though and the amenities were terrific. Getting room access was super easy once we located the entrance door. Loading zone was taken when we arrived, but we were able to pull in at the next block to unload.
