Tucked into a corner of the front lobby, this used record shop is curated by the innkeeper—formerly a music industry professional and a longtime DJ and collector with a deep love for vinyl. Drawing on their background in black music and club culture, every selection reflects a distinct perspective, with thoughtful reviews accompanying each title. With the belief that records should be enjoyed not only by buying and listening but also simply by browsing, the shop was created out of a desire to offer a more approachable experience—especially at a time when vinyl can feel overly elevated and record stores have become increasingly rare, inviting travelers to casually enjoy records along the way.
