The location was 10/10 The room had the weirdest smell that did not subside (old sewer water smell) and was not worth the price of the stay in our opinion. The hotel and all surrounding hotels were fully booked during our stay or we would have requested a different room/ booked elsewhere. The location was walkable, lobby was gorgeous and on-site restaurants were fantastic. Truly our own negative feedback was the room itself was underwhelming/ felt like an old motel not a $400+/ night hotel stay. If the hotel improved their room quality/ cleanliness- it would be a 10/10 property

The best part was being next to downtown. Everything was walkable and I felt extremely safe. There were 2 downsides. First, the room I was in had stairs with no elevator. I had to carry all my luggage up a flight. They did not warn me of this at check in. Also the host at the restaurant was very unpleasant. I asked for a seat at the bar and she said it was a wait. I told her the bar had 2 people at it. She didn’t respond. She did me a favor, I ended up going to a sushi restaurant which was the best roll I may have ever had.
