A great location with helpful staff and a great room and awesome dining options! My only concern is that the walls and doors are quite thin. I could literally hear the neighboring rooms bringing down their shades with the clinking chains. I'd love to return, but the sound was definitely challenging!

Check in was quick, but lady asked if I minded staying on 2nd floor which I didn’t think would be a big deal but the room looked out into a parking lot which made my wife uncomfortable. The room had a continuous dripping sound in the walls that kept us up. We were staying here for the rooftop bar and was closed to private party. The restaurant was also closed which forced us to eat off property. I thought we should be made aware of these closures as we would have stayed elsewhere.

It was a clean but not a spacious place to stay. The bar on top of the hotel must have been jumping because there was a long line of partiers waiting for the elevator both Friday and Saturday night. I asked for a quiet floor and one was provided, though the view was of the neighboring parking garage and the sound of horns beeping as cars rounded corners could be heard late into the night. It didn’t keep me awake. As a single female traveler, I felt safe. The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

My room was the smallest and strangest room I’ve ever been in. I travel quite often and the room was clean and adequate but it was directly across from the elevators, was tiny with no warmth, the window literally looked out to a brick wall and there were bunk beds??? I think it was an ADA room, but how can that be with bunk beds?? There was no desk, no bureau and no true closet.

Group of eight friends. 4 rooms. The queen bed room was bigger than the bunk beds. Sweet clean micro rooms, comfortable beds, nice roomy bathroom.  Great location. Love the coffee and pastry bar. The receptionists were kind, helpful and very welcoming. All in all very positive experience.

I’ve stayed at other I guess you call them micro hotels. I was impressed by the location and cleanliness. Not a whole lot of closet space. In fact, no closet to speak of. Just a couple of drawers. It was perfect for a weekend stay.
