Loved: - beautiful art-deco building retrofit into hotel, especially the lobby and elevator - minimalist room design - great view of downtown skyscrapers from room - rooftop pool, view - walkable to convention center Not a fan: - bed very low, hard, like a futon - rooftop restaurant food quality poor - ground floor restaurant never open - area near hotel very heavy with homeless people (less panhandling, more crazy and yelling)

This was my first hostel stay for work in the area. The rooms are cleaned very well each day. Amenities such as towels readily available. Not the hostel experience I was expecting. The communal areas, lobby and door top pool are very nice. Drinks are a bit pricey.

I asked several times to move rooms because of how rude and dirty and loud the guests were ans they never moved me and didnt care that i felt extremely uncomfortable. I stayed for 2 nights and slept 0. The bathrooms were dirty and muggy. The sinks smelled like rotton eggs. Pot smoke everywhere. There were tiny little fly bugs in the bedroom.

Great place to spend the night after a long day at the Just Like Heaven festival. It’s a few blocks from the Metro. Checked in almost around 1am. I was in a room of six with half of the beds taken. Bed was just big enough for me to fit but was super comfortable. Bathroom, sink and shower were super clean. Each person is assigned a locker in the room so that was very convenient. People at the front desk were fabulous. They are at there 24hrs a day. I would come here again!

Liz, Tony, Enen, Jason, Maria, Jose, and all of the staff from the front desk to the Management on duty were very professional and went out of their way to accommodate me. I love my Room and it is because of all the staff and particularly, the ones I mentioned above, I extended my stay and additional week. The only problem I had is the method of pay. my account was compromised and my bank could not issue me a card in time for my trip and Freehand only accepts credit cards. This policy needs to change to accommodate problems with credit cards beyond my control.
