To start with the staff was very friendly, I only rated that area 3 star because it said staff and services. There was no heat in our room from the minute we arrived. The first call to inform them we were told the heating was turned on by motion sensor, give it an hour. Our second call they said well we could bring up a heater and some extra blankets. It took a third call to get them to the room. The heater helped but the comment well it is an old building and was a bank in my mind was no excuse. Considering it is known as an art hotel the wall color in our room was incredibly boring s as was the art work. ( The lobby was very well appointed so we did not expect this). Room service was dismal. So many things forgotten requiring multiple trips back to the kitchen. Food was ice cold at breakfast. On Saturday morning we asked for two soft boiled eggs and two hard boiled eggs. I had the order repeated back to me. We received 4 hard boiled eggs. When they called to see how things were we told them about this and she said she’d tell her manager and get back to us which never happened. It’s been a very, very long time since we have had a poor experience at hotel. We were quite taken back by this. Again the staff was very friendly but we will not be back.

There was no heat Friday to Sunday. Water went off Saturday night. Received no compensation for this inconvenience In addition 2 of the four elevators were not working, creating long wait times. Just an overall sense of lack of facility maintenance.

This hotel stay was a great experience. A friendly valet met us at the curb and directed us to the lobby. The room was very comfortable and had a lovely view. We were able to walk to dinner at a nearby fabulous restaurant. At check-in we were given 2 drink tickets for the hotel bar and then walked around the gallery in the hotel after dinner with our drinks, viewing excellent artwork.

A wonderful place.

We loved it. The morning breakfast was a little pricey but excellent. We are able to park on the street for free very close by on a Friday night. No Saturday metering.

We love this place! Every staff member is super helpful. The rooms are terrific and the artwork really sets the place apart. We also enjoyed the sauna! Our only regret is never having enough time to take it all in. We’ll be back!
