The Sparrow is the first place I've stayed where I've truly "enjoyed my stay." I was in the area on business and it felt like a home away from home - everything from the welcome text from the front desk to the embedded coffee shop, the outside fireplace or delicious food from the food truck, the malin & goetz personal care products to the oversized gray hoodie robes - it all added up to a very cozy and pleasant stay. 10/10 recommend.

I stayed there for just one night, but wow - what a gem! Conveniently located to many restaurants and shops. Great modern design. Friendly staff. Extra clean room. Only wish they disclosed their parking fee upfront (it's not mentioned anywhere on the website).

Room was super clean and had everything we needed. Public areas were pretty clean. There was some kind of aerosol or essential oil in the hallways and lobbies 24/7 that was so strong it was highly unpleasant. I still have it on my clothes and will have to have everything cleaned to get it out.

Room was clean and the bed was very comfy. Did have a room that was right above the coffee shop -so it did get loud in the morning. And room was right by an area where ppl can hang out and work - so it was weird walking out of your room and there just being a bunch of ppl feet from your door. Other rooms are in a normal hotel setting - will book one of those rooms next time. Overall stay was nice - and will book again.
