This property had a fun young vibe. I enjoyed the pool and the happy hour. The breakfast was very good at the restaurant upstairs. I did not understand the point of the cafe downstairs. It was completely overpriced for what they had. I liked our room. We had a double with a huge shower. My only thought was that it would be better if they had more drawers available and a microwave We did not notice that there was a microwave in the cafe until the day we left. The other thing was finding the ice was kind of weird. There was limited signage to really indicate where it was. It was in a hidden door on our floor. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the staff was amazing.

I really wanted to be leaving a more positive review. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms were well designed. The bed was also great. That said, the experience in terms of service and other details really left this missing the mark. Some of these are minor inconveniences (i.e: Our room only having one full sized towel despite having the room booked for 2 adults, a request for room location being ignored) and others were just frustrating. It was a back and forth stay - I wanted to love it and come back but the little issues continued to mount. I asked about parking when I arrived and was told the parking garage was $28 for overnight - which is steep, but the garage is secure and that is appreciated. Upon checkout, I was charges $39. The extra money was for an "urban fee" - which is just a way to squeeze a little more profit out of things. Regardless of my personal opinion on said fee, it was never communicated to me until I reviewed my invoice. When I contacted the hotel to address my frustration over the lack of communication, I was treated very dismissively and told they couldn't do any form of refund (I had not mentioned, asked for, or expected a refund, I just wanted to voice my frustration)...I asked if I could have a manager or someone contact me, and the individual on the phone didnt acknowledge this and began to tell me to have a nice day. I had to stop them and repeat my request (it is possible they did not hear me the first time, as their phone line had a horrible c

The property needs a lot more attention to maintenance, upkeep, and details. It's a "nice at first glance" property but when you look a layer deeper, there are a lot of things that need to be updated or repaired (like exposed recessed lighting without the covers), and the sheets/bedding literally came off the bed exposing the bed underneath. It's overall poor management. We also stayed at an airport Marriott which was actually nicer than this hotel we splurged on. The location is nice, the rooftop dining and view were nice, the people at the front desk were fine - the one who seemed like the manager was the nicest and most helpful. But overall it's definitely a pass on this property, I wouldn't return.

Pretty hotel. Nice check in staff. Pool is pretty but small. Fire alarm went off at 2am due to being attached to a neighboring parking garage system. No comps offered for the inconvenience. Self pay parking is $26 so be expected for that add on expense because limited neighborhood parking available. Shower and bed were nice but cleanliness around the bathroom was b grade. Overall 4.2
