Room was too small, and better suited for one person, not two. Bathroom was tiny! It was in need of more renovation. Walls were thin. We could easily hear conversations next door. On plus side, mattress was comfortable and employees were helpful and friendly.

To stay self is all right I find it atrocious to pay so much to basically stay in a small tiny bedroom. They also did not let us know ahead of time that there would be a strike on going from 7 AM to 10 PM daily and that was super inconvenient and I don’t feel like they comped us enough for the lack of sleep.

Convenient location. Beautiful lobby with interesting architecture. Nice roof top bar. Great cocktails. Friendly staff. Small rooms with no closet or drawers. Resort fee will be added of $36 per room per night for WiFi and gym. Online states they have a pool and jacuzzi, they do not. Please note that tip/service is included at their restaurant and bar. Valet parking is expensive at $85 per night. Rooms will only be cleaned when requested. Overal was a nice stay.
