Great location and a nice hotel, but not a luxury stay.
Pros:

Location is great. Room size is generous and the rooms are nicely appointed. The coffee bar area was a plus.

Cons:

Walls are thin, you can hear people around you and in the hallways. The room looks good, but some of the design choices are not practical. Why have a nightstand with no storage? Why have an open bathroom with minimal sound control and a shower that doesn’t drain properly? Pretty, not practical.

Fabulous for the Gen X crowd
Pros:

Everything.

Cons:

That crazy light panel thing. Omg. And I never figured out how to pair with the speaker. Oh and the Nespresso instructions are missing a step. We had to literally Google it. LOL.

It was a wonderful stay in a luxury hotel that feels down to earth and relaxing.
Pros:

Location and room layout with high ceilings and ample light. Just put together with comfort and relaxation in mind without pretentious and airs. The sparkling water dispenser was a nice touch.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind. They focus on the details. Maybe the awesome wine bar Dow stairs closes to early at 8pm.

Great spacious room, great location, great foods.
Pros:

The best location and easy access to downtown.

Cons:

The bed sheets were not changed. I could smell the sourness (sweat) on the fitting sheet and the flat sheets. The pillows cases were new and fresh.
