Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located a short distance from the city center and offers a beautiful sky deck with live music and a complimentary wine hour. While the room had some maintenance issues and the dining choices were limited, the friendly service and the renovation efforts made the stay enjoyable overall.
The hotel is situated between newer office buildings and older apartments, offering a room that was slightly bigger with a Keurig machine but a view of a brick wall. Despite booking a year in advance and starting at 8 AM, my stay was comfortable, though a bit snug. The service was decent with a few hiccups, but the experience was overall positive.
The hotel had some good aspects, such as a slightly bigger room with a Keurig machine and a view of a brick wall, but there were issues like a chair propping the door open and difficulties in getting in-room service. The service was a mix, with amazing staff but some noise disturbances like loud music early in the morning. The location was nice with easy access to downtown, although the space was a bit tight. Dining had some tasty options but also disappointments like not serving certain items. Overall, a place with ups and downs.
