"Only thing is no door to bathroom lacks privacy. Vue rooftop restaurant is amazing but ask price of drink before you order because my Mojito was $30. I have never paid that much in any city ever in my life. I didn’t argue but just a reminder."

"Definitely think this hotel should be labeled 3 or 4 stars instead of 5. How wore down it looks in like the elevators and certain places. Staff super friendly though! Love free the coffee and unique selection of teas but that area was always quite messy and no trash can to throw away items in that ..."

"The hotel looked nice and modern. I liked the ambiance of it. It was clean, shower good, bed comfy. The restaurant is expensive but has a lot of options around it. We loved the Chinese restaurant about 500ft ( Sichuan Pavilion is the name).The staff were helpful. They don’t have ice machines but they have water stations that is cold already so no need for ice.We forgot our phone chargers but they have charging station in the room that came in handy. Whoever answered the phone when I asked for extra cups was very helpful too. It’s a 10/10. Thank you for our nice stay!"

"Great location and very walkable. The offsite parking thing was initially confusing for us, but prob won’t be if you know the routine in these big cities. Parking is in a garage 1.5 blocks away. Grt the QR code from the hotel front desk, register online and pay. Was $36/day, no in/out. Can pay 1 day at a time and take car out, just cant return before 3pm same day. Rooms was actually spacious for sq footage, great view of park. Only thing to adjust to was the road noise at night, even from the 5th floor. First responder sirens going most of night , but it was a Sat nt. Refridge was pretty small and no freezer, but nice to have. Walkability, cleanliness were all 10s."

"The valet and front desk staff were amazing. The room was comfortable, tho a bit dated. The bathroom was a little cramped, and could’ve definitely used a window upgrade as the noise level was like the window was wide open. Made for interesting listening at night. The location was excellent. It was within walking distance of many sights."
