Disliked: Amenities
We had no problem with the hotel’s philosophy of not offering many amenities that usually are included in rooms, but we were not happy the room rate was still equivalent to hotels that do have those amenities. The staff members were friendly and always made our stay enjoyable. The room was clean. One of the amenities we missed a lot was flat surfaces where we coul place some of our things.

Our room was clean, appointed with fun artwork that you can tear off and take with you. Didn’t use many amenities as we were in and out. We opted to park ourselves and it’s a short walk to the garage, so on a cold night it might be best to take advantage of the valet. The bar area is nice but it was busy and understaffed so we waited quite a while to be acknowledged. Once we placed our order, drinks were made well, the bartender was very nice but a bit overwhelmed and it showed.
Paper prints that are in a perforated pad, take the art with you!
When they run out this is on the back of the stack.

Room was clean. Cozy.Very friendly staff. Cool vibe. Great location. Do wish the bathroom light wasn't motion sensor so when someone gets up late it isn't so bright dor everyone. Also we couldn't find a switch to turn on the bathroom fan, which is nice with 4 people using it in small quarters would be nice to work/have to keep smells down. A small folding chair to sit in the room would be nice.
