No rooftop access. They were 2 HOURS LATE for my check in. And on top of that my shower didn’t work and room didn’t have shampoo or soap. AND only 1 elevator was working. Never ever recommending this place

This was a beautiful property in the main hub of downtown. Loved the history of it, only down side was we never got to see the rooftop to hang out and have drinks since both days was completely rented out. The walls are thin (comes with the history of the building) so just be ready for that. Besides that, the staff and everything else in between was amazing!

Broken sliding door to our bathroom… couldn’t close it! Two elevators, but only one worked and they are the original old school ones, so only 6 people can squeeze in at a time. Needed to wait a couple of times for our turn. Couldn’t regulate our temp in our room, even after maintenance came to fix it… room was 79! Not comfortable!

Wonderful and helpful staff. The stay was quiet and peaceful despite being located in a busy nightlife area. Inviting lobby and beautiful bonus of a rooftop bar. Stay for a drink or just for the view of the city. Walkable to good food and some attractions. Multiple bus lines near. It was a bit toasty in our room, even with the A/C unit on. It may be because we were located on the top floor, and of course it is an older building so air circulation may not be that of newer. All in all, I would absolutely stay here again without hesitation. Great staff, food, drinks, decor and stay!
