The people were great - from the front desk to the restaurant to the valet. The property was old and dates. My room had torn carpets, and dirty furniture - and given you spend a lot of time in the room, it was a huge turnoff. I would not stay there again. Location was great, but hotel was dirty and old.

The room decor is very trendy and not stuffy, and the bed is comfortable, but this does not have the atmosphere for a luxury hotel. Our check in was very awkward, the clerk told me to tap to pay, and after I tapped my phone, and it charged, he told me they didn’t take Apple Pay and next time at their properties I should not tap my phone. It was just weird. Then he told us that he did not recommend the hotel rooftop bar, which frankly was part of the reason I chose this hotel. Then he told me they sometimes had comp tickets for the cover charge of the bar, but he was out of them. Why tell me that?

Hi Mary, Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry for the subpar check in process. We will ensure to improve our process. Thank you again for the feedback and we invite you back to the hotel soon. Our Stratus rooftop bar & lounge is amazing. Atmosphere has an amazing upscale vibe to it. Come enjoy.

The hotel decor was interesting, eclectic, stylized and truly beautiful! Every staff member was pleasant, helpful, professional and knowledgeable. We only stayed 1 night, but we are already making plans to stay there again on a long weekend. The location is great- lots of historical buildings all around and we were able to easily walk to restaurants & bars.. Loved it!
