Beautiful hotel, good location, needs better upkeep
Pros:

Beautiful design!

Cons:

Many things were broken in our room or didn't work. Some of the staff wasn't very friendly. We only made one request and they never bothered.

hotel is great BEST lotion, shampoo, conditioner and soap Ive EVER used at a hotel, that says a lot!
Pros:

Location was great except they closed off the street and the hotel did not provide any instructions for getting to the valet area. We ended up backing up through the alley to get our vehicle back to valet.

Cons:

See above Valet Parking
On our last night we decided to have a nightcap in the upstairs lounge. The hostess said we could only sit at the bar since we did not have a reservation. There were many tables open and only about 45 ppl there, we were stumped. The waitress ended up moving us to a table. The hostess said "If the firemarshal comes we are in big trouble". Working for Four Seasons Hotels for 17 years and a meeting planner for the last 15 years, I can tell you this was very poorly handled, especially since she let in all "younger" people after us with no issues. She needs a lesson regarding equality.

Fantastic,beautiful property. We will be back.
Pros:

We loved everything about the hotel. The restaurant had a great burger! The store could use more basic variety in affordable necessities. Also...Definitely need a small stool or foot prop for the shower:)
But fabulous over all. We will stay again!

Cons:

Maybe better security around the perimeter. There were unsavory characters outside wandering. There was no blanket or spread on the bed....odd. However, we normally bring our own blankets so not really a problem for us.

Cons:

The street it’s on was closed off when I arrived in the evening and it was really hard to get in and find the front door with the street closure. The guy at check in really didn’t seem to care much when I told him. He wasn’t very informative at check in about any hotel info, where my room was and he also didn’t tell me about needing to scan my keycard on the elevator in order to push a button and ascend to a floor.

Bien, pero esperaba mas por el precio.
Pros:

la ubicación estaba bien, el hotel tenía valet parking (carísimo) y no tenía desayuno. El desayuno era un local contiguo donde comprar café y algún muffin.

Cons:

Que no tuviera un lugar donde tomar desayuno adecuadamente.

Pros:

Decore

Cons:

The room booked online stated it would be 2529 sq ft.
The room wasn't even 400 sq ft.
False advertisement, when I told the front desk agent their only response was - did you measure it?

Pros:

The rooms are unique. But dark with dark blue walls and the lighting was dim. Overall a nice place to stay with quite a few options nearby for food and drinks. The rooftop bar is nice for a drink before a night out. Ride share was readily available and made it so easy to get around town. I’d stay here again
