Recommend to stay!
Pros:

Modern, clean, best location . We can walk lots of museum, cruise etc.

King size bed room has bathtub.
(Booking .com site said some queen bed room has bathtub. But not really. So if you need bathtub, make resavation above king size bed room.

Cons:

There is no amenity even though ask to desk.
No problem if we know it.
Either or bath robe or night gown.

So we need to bring by myself

Pros:

I did not expect to find such a nice hotel with such high value for money. The staff offered upgrade right away, although I was too tired to wait. The bed was extremely comfortable with crispy sheets. The place was stylish and well located.

Great space for a downtown hotel.
Pros:

The room is large, meaning you have a sizable workspace set apart from the sleeping space. This is a huge plus if traveling for more than a few days or if you know you will have to work.

Our room was clean and we appreciated the (unexpected) daily cleaning. There was day-of luggage storage in the lobby. Inside the room, we had space for storing our luggage under the kitchenette sink and on the side of the desk.

The location and access are great: centrally located and easily reached from the airport and other locations. We walked and used Ubers, so I cannot review the proximity to, or ease of, public transportation.

Cons:

Some parts of the facility were showing wear and tear: the automatic front door (which wasn’t working when we were there “due to the cold”) had the weather stripping dangling off of it. The once-nice wood elements in the elevator were worn down and scuffed due to passengers and luggage wear and tear.

There is limited clothing storage: three drawers and a small closet. As a party of two, I stored my clothes in the kitchenette cabinets :).

The front lobby was fine. It isn’t as neat and tidy as pictured. The bar is now a check-in station. The staff was often dining at the counter or at the nearby table and watching videos, at full volume, on their phones. It had the sense of walking into the staff lounge. One — bombastic, in my opinion — staff member rubbed me the wrong way.

Most nearby dining options are national chains. It takes some extra effort to find a real restaurant. Staff suggestions of restaurants were not insightful, helpful, or informed.
