Excellent hotel. They need to figure out the rooftop restaurant (service was overwhelmed and food was hit-or-miss), but it’s a really nice property, Hip, clean and well run. I would call out the lady who runs the kitchen for the breakfasts and the valets guys - all were awesome.

Nice property, no breakfast rest., so so location
The property is nice. It has a cool vibe to it. The room was tight. There was not enough space to put our luggage and we were always having to step over it. The location is not great if you don't have a car. There is nothing around that is a convenient walking distance. The was especially problematic since the hotel does not offer a breakfast restaurant and instead serves limited offerings at the bar.

Great experience
Went for two day business trip. This place was awesome. Really clean, cool vibe, old school feel. Bed was super comfortable, and bathroom was clean. Was not a big fan of the rain drop shower head but that did not bother me from complaining about it. Restaurant/bar was good. Roof top bar was nice as well. Overall great experience and will be staying here again whenever I come back.

If you expect a quiet restful night, don’t stay
I am not overly demanding but I do require a satisfactory check mark in 3 categories. And it is only a yes or no but it must be all 3 boxes checked. Clean. Comfortable. Quiet. This hotel hits the first two but fails miserably on the third. As many people have commented, the roof top nightclub is a noise disaster. The club is on the 8th floor and we were in the 4th but the music thumps into the wee hours of the night. The hotel is well aware of it as the desk acknowledged they receive many complaints. Yet it goes on. I can’t imagine what the rooms in the 6th floor sound like. The management needs to figure out if they want to be a luxury hotel or a hip night club. They apparently have chosen the latter to the denteent of their 123 overnight guests.

Lovely decorated room… lots of thought went into the rooms, VERY small, below rooftop bar. It was very loud until after midnight… it was a Saturday night. Rooms poorly insulated. I could hear people talking clearly in the hall.
