Parking was down and across the street.Immediately walked into loud music in the lobby from a DJ. Could not hear the front desk person giving instructions. He gave us keys to a room on the 3rd floor but wrote 5th floor room number. Had us trying to enter someone’s room. Elevators work out of order so we had to use the service elevator. We were told we could order coffee with room service but we received items to MAKE coffee which is not how it was described. We wanted to try a different hotel experience but I fired this one wasn’t for us

Great stay

The Hotel was in a great location to walking, restaurants, bars. Hotel was well kept although could use some upgrades. The food in both restaurants was amazing. The Rooftop Bar had the best cheeseboard at 10pm! Our room in the first night was on the side of the bar Queenies open till 2am so we didn’t sleep well. The hotel moved out room the next night and upgraded us. Service was great and the coffee bar is open all the time for coffee- excellent pastries and candies and beer! Great stay

This is the place to stay

The staff was great. Ezra at the desk was a complete pro. They were dealing with a minor issue the day we checked in but the whole staff made it a non issue. Location is perfect, nice sized rooms and dont miss the rooftop for a cocktail and some small bites.
