Given we were staying in a penthouse, I wish the mini bar items were included. That struck me as "nickel and diming" on the hotel's part. Otherwise I felt the room was beautiful and staff were friendly.

This hotel is well located. I was a little disconcerted because of all the security at the hotel. Wondered how unsafe this area was ? The staff was marginal and not super friendly. They didn’t clean our room one day even when I pointed out that we were missed. The room was expensive and supposed to have a river view. You had to put your head out the window to see the river and it was just a tiny bit. This felt like false advertising. Not what we expected. The plugs often were non functional. The shower either was too hot water or not warm enough and very hard to run the handle. The restaurant was fair. We only ate breakfast there one day. They have coffee in the room with glass mugs. When we poured the hot water into the mug it cracked ! Not sure why they are using non tempered glass for this. Won’t stay here again

Great room with views and distinctive decoration- It was chic. Rooms were ample for downtown. The "resort fee" is - Ok since the hotel provides free internet and almost 1/2 of nearby parking, On to the less positive: Precisely because the service fee (like in Vegas!) was $29.35 per room/per night (we had 2x2), I wish the access to the rooftop disco was different- through a different door. As we were there during Friday and Saturday, the 26th floor was popular. It felt uncomfortable to go up to our rooms with masses of people fighting for those small elevators ready to party. And music was LOUD!!! since it could be heard 6 floors down (from 26th to 20th). On Saturday it felt especially unfriendly around 6 pm when they had a private party and the security guards were pushy asking for us to show our room cards and stamping our hands. Access to the rooftop is a privilege of the hotel guests, but the party leaders did not make us feel welcomed. It appears there are mixed messages from management. So, I wonder what the "service fee" is for... it getting into the elevator feels like going to a Walmart... Happy with hotel location and rooms but don't plan to return.
