    Had requested a walk in shower with bars and a bench but they did not have after detailed prior notice and they did not have. My godmother is 101 years old and uses a walker. Also after 4 rings phone calls go to voice mail. She did not have time to get to the phone. This is mot good for 101 year old on a walker.

    Did not have breakfast but the menu looked good

    It's a beautiful hotel gorgeous modern lobby. The gym has two peloton bikes and the rooms are amazing. The bathrooms are top notch I couldn't ask for anything more for the price. I'm not sure why this hotel has such low numbers honestly because it's pretty fantastic in my opinion.

    I was overcharged $200 and when i called about it the staff was dismissive,the manager didn’t call me back as promised and I had to chase down a manager who didn’t call when they were supposed to -nor was there any responsibility taken for their mistake. In fact, I am still waiting for someone to even call me back.

    Modern-comfortable hotel in “sketchy” neighborhood with questionable valet service.

    Location was in a “sketchy” part of town and it was difficult to access valet; had to leave car parked in the road. Valet was sometimes slow and not very welcoming; depended on who was there. The facility amenities were not explained to us. I only later learned of different amenities from reading my checkout statement; in addition to the required destination feel that gave daily credit for something that could have been purchased, but we didn’t because no one explained this to us.

    Front desk person was friendly. Rooms were modern and beds were comfortable.

    The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The pricing was confusing because I paid for a small king room what others paid for the room with a balcony/terrace and larger room. The shower doesn’t have a door and floor would get very wet. The shower water never got warm in room 6616–it was cold or lukewarm. The staff at the front desk were unfriendly, uninterested, and lacking in basic customer service skills. The staff at the restaurant were friendly and attentive and great. It was a decent accommodation but nothing to be excited about.

    Other staff members were lazy. I requested my car 15 minutes before I needed to leave. I sent a text and when I went down it took an additional 20 minutes for them to retrieve my car while I’m watching one of the valet employees on his phone sitting at the desk. I ask for my room to be turned down when I left at 10 am and when I came back at 630 it was not done. And the rooms are super small.

    It was clean. One staff member went above and beyond. Location is great

    I got locked in the bathroom for 2 hours. The bathroom door needs alignment. If I was an elderly person with no phone, it could’ve been a bad situation.

    There was a black fly infestation in the lobby while I was there. It went into the restaurant/bar area and was very unsettling while eating.

    No safe/easy parking options besides valet but attendant is very helpful. Noise travels when it’s lively (which I didn’t mind but some might prefer quieter accommodations) and hot water temp/pressure wasn’t ideal.

    Friendly & helpful staff, very stylish, and a lot of stuff to check out in the neighborhood.

    Not the hotel's fault, but there was a fire drill and we had to evacuate the building close to midnight. Also rooftop bar is misleading as it's not technically in the hotel and was only on the 2nd floor.

    Comfortable spacious rooms, nice staff.

    The surrounding area has been impacted by homeless encampments. The actual hotel does not have any camps near the hotel.

    Location was near many bars and restaurants. The front doors need a code for entrance, this prevented random people from coming inside the hotel. The staff were helpful and guided me to where I can park my vehicle during my stay and provided me the information so I can enter my room. The actual rooms are not card keys but digital combo locks to enter. The actual room is more like a studio as in the shower is visible from where the bed is located. So depending on your room it’s good to know so you don’t have to be naked near family members while trying to shower. Many selections of tv channels and the bed was very comfortable. I only stayed one night but I had no issues with outside noise. The hotel does provide earplugs to help mitigate noise congestion from the local pubs.
