Endion Station Inn by Heirloom Boutique Collection

Unique, thoughtful decor and very clean

There is a very nice 'heirloom' vibe to this location - the rooms are built into a historic building and are comfortable and nicely appointed. The grounds are well maintained and while we didn't have time to use it, there is a sauna on site which is a very cool amenity if you have time to try it out. The staff were also responsive through email, text and phone call - although everything is handled remotely so we didnt actually meet anyone in person.

The location is close walking distance to the restaurants and bars in Canal Park -this is generally a plus. However, it does sit at the extreme end of the Canal Park area and up against the highway overpass. We had some issues with homeless people hanging around and making noise at night.

The location was excellent. There are a lot of food places and sights to see within walking distance of the Inn. The historic significance of the Inn was also very cool to us. We did like the full electronic communication for the Inn, and not having a front desk. (Strange - but actually nice) The room was clean and free of strange smells, which is always appreciative. It was very nice to have a large shower. There are also a lot of mom-pop places near the Inn that are nice to visit as well.

The only small issue we had was with the lock to the room. To begin, we thought that the key to the room was in the outside lock boxes as another group was also looking at the boxes for their room key. It took reading the instructions a second time to understand how the lock worked. I guess maybe stating that the locks were fully electronic for the rooms and then how to use them would be best. We also did not know that the locks didn't auto lock when you left the room and that you had to press a button to engage the lock (found out by accident it didn't do this). There is no fan in the bathroom to get rid of humidity from showers, which although not necessary, they are nice (other things too). Other than these small details, our stay was excellent.
