Great location, excellent staff, super comfortable!
Pros:

Great neighborhood—very lively. The decor is industrial chic but I loved it and it was super comfortable. The staff were so friendly and available and helpful!

Cons:

The lobby Puffin Bar was packed with people at the end of the work day, but after a couple hours the crowd left, and the bar was very cool and fun to be in.

Okay but communication from the hotel was non-existent.
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

I had to leave early due to an emergency. I emailed and called as there was no one at the front desk when I departed. I asked if I could receive some compensation back for the night that I wasn’t there. No one ever got back to me. It’s fine if that is their policy but there was no communication at all from them.
