Review of Jupiter Hotel 3*

It was a cute boutique hotel for the right customer. I was not that customer. I felt like I was staying in an expensive roadside motel. The outside of the building looked run down & the rooms smelled like mildew. I was first placed in a room on the first floor in the back corner of the courtyard. When I noticed the smell in the room and the proximity to the public bathroom, I asked to be moved. The staff at the front desk were very friendly, professional and accommodating. They had a great sense of humor, joking with me while quickly finding me another room. While the next room was further from the bathrooms, the smell was still there. I wanted to open the window to air out the room, but the window did not open. the parking situation had some growth opportunity as well. Paying $15 to park my car in a garage is acceptable. Paying $15 to park in a gravel lot across the street from the hotel is not. There should be some better organization around handing out parking passes for a garage that can't accommodate the amount of guests that are staying. the restaurant/bar, doug fir lounge was awesome! the ambience, the urgency, the price — everything was above expectations. The bartenders definitely knew how to pour a good/stiff drink! the happy hour menu was great, plenty of choices and great price. there was a wedding going on when we were there and it was beautiful! it was easy to see that the staff took great pride in creating a memorable experience for the wedding party. i wasn't a huge fan of the location, lesson learned for me — I will not be staying in the industrial district again.
