"-Rooms were big, clean and comfy. - The front desk staff wasn’t very helpful and we were rushed during check in and it felt very scattered. They didn’t seem to care. - Nick and Jack, the valet drivers were GREAT. These guys should be running the place! -The breakfast that was delivered to the room every day was a bit disappointing. Croissants and yogurt…. And in the last day, some moldy strawberry’s and blueberry’s. - The restaurant was yummy but not clear on what menu they were serving. - Pool was extremely small but clean"

"The room itself was very nice and loved the high ceiling and old brick architecture. Our shower drain however was backed up which was pretty gross to use. Also while the room itself wasn’t too costly, the parking and pet fee did make it far more expensive than anticipated."

"In all honesty this would have been 5 stars if downstairs would have been cleaner ! The lobby wasn’t clean like the rooms. The chairs were dusty and where all the art is in the cabinets were all thick with dust. For it to be an art hotel I would have expected it to have a museum level of cleaning."
