Perfect location. Bed was comfy and bathroom and shower was spacious. Hotel is getting worn - sofa groans, noisy from elevators and thin walls, furnishings getting dated. Kitchen very sparsely equipped (one fork one spoon…). Staff was excellent and checkin and out was smooth.

Bedding was wonderful and comfortable. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Bathroom was dirty, stained remnants all over the floor. Noisy surroundings, people yelling in the streets throughout the night.

Staff were courteous and efficient. Highlights for me were the light and lovely space of a corner room with luscious linens on a king bed, and really hot water and fluffy towels in the bathroom. The hotel has a long history of supporting musicians and artists, which is also nice to see.

Very clean room, lots of dishes in the kitchen. The street noise was a lot at night. Not sure if there was a noisemaker but that would have helped. Also, a fan or some way to cool the room down. Staff was super friendly and helpful all the way!

The staff was amazing and welcoming! We brought our dog with us during the stay and lovely that they don’t charge pet fee. Also, I would call ahead and ask for a spot in the garage as it’s the most secure option to keep your car safe! Overall, great one night stay!

The front desk receptionist was outstanding. He had excellent customer service skills and i felt very welcomed. The room smelled a little "musty" i had to open the window to air it out and the chair in the room had a couple stains. Overall the bed was comfortable and clean.
