Great location with many great food and drink options. The room is a modern industrial design with unfinished walls and ceiling. It looks nice but not exactly my style. The room was clean and was comfortable for a two night stay.

We had a great experience at the Emily hotel. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Decent size for a city hotel. We did not take advantage of the food at the hotel but many great restaurants within walking distance. Water or bottle filling station in the lobby area would have been helpful.
