Moments after arriving the hotel room, I took a shower and when I got out, there was a cockroach on my floor near the bed.
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.
Very good location. Valet parking way too expensive with very limited other options and lots of construction.

Good hotel. Staff is excellent and attentive. Room is comfortable for one person traveling alone. There are three drawbacks did business travelers: 1 - the desk chair is very uncomfortable to sit in for more than a few minutes. As a result, no biz traveler could work from the room for more than a short call or video. 2 - there is no room service. I got take out from Fora, but room service is imoortant for biz travelers. 3 - the doors don’t keep noise out, and I heard people making noise in the hall until well past midnight.
I love staying at the Emily hotel as they have a coffee shop, bar, and gym on-property. There was an event on the rooftop when I was there and the DJ was VERY loud which made it hard to go to sleep one of the nights I was visiting. But overall, great stay!
Cute and trendy hotwl but there was a loud party on-site which ruined experience. It felt clean but our mini fridge had takeout left from former guest, so maid service obviously missed that.
