We love the charm & convenience of this hotel. The rooftop bar is always great. My one comment is the lobby of the main hotel. The gallery they have created is not warm & inviting. Too bright with no comforting seating. Feels like an art gallery instead of a lobby. Not warm & inviting.

Excellent Stay at The Vendue

Cleaning staff, valets, and front desk personnel were most kind, friendly and extremely hospitable. Tour of lobby's art exhibit was led by a woman (whose name escapes me) who arranged the exhibit and answered my many questions about each painting/ art piece and the artist who creeated it. The night manager, Gregory, was especially friendly and helpful to me on the night I arrived. We chatted at length.
