Just ok

We have stayed at another 21C Museum Hotel and had a wonderful experience, but this one was just ok. Pros: Good service at check in and the gallery was excellent. Cons: room was freezing, heat kicked on if you tried to turn the air up from 68. When we pulled up so my husband could drop me off, I let the valet attendant know we would be self parking and he just rudely walked off. The bathroom had mildew and frayed towels. Beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. Not their fault, but downtown LEX is crazy loud at night. It didn’t quiet down until 3 am. We won’t make that mistake again.
