Lovely hotel, close to Canal Street Gayborhood
Booked this hotel to experience the nightlife of Canal St/Gayborhood and this was a perfect location for it. Love the liveliness of the lobby/restaurant/coffee shop during the day and the lovely metal/glass ceiling. Great room and full kitchen in my room. Next time, I want to book something at Shallows because it looks so cool but didn't know about it prior to booking. Highly recommend this place!

Great hotel and fantastic 2 bedroom apartment. The only negative would be the downstairs bathroom, walking down a flight of stairs half asleep can be dangerous!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with my partner. Our suite was well equipped with everything you would need to make a fry up in the morning! The space was spotlessly clean on arrival and all staff were welcoming and helpful.
