Mixed signals: several guests explicitly praised cleanliness, but there were notable negative incidents (someone vomiting in the pool that staff did not appear to address) and reports of early-morning construction noise affecting comfort.
Service
1
Strong positive sentiment: staff repeatedly described as very kind, helpful and communicative (specific praise for 'Ammy'); guests extended stays because of the service.

Very positive: described as in the heart of downtown/arts district, five-minute walk to many attractions and convenient for walking; close to galleries and central areas.
Room Quality
1
Generally positive: guests noted good room size, useful extras (iron, toiletries, coffee/tea) and comfort; one repeated issue was low-clearance parking affecting some rental cars.
Amenities
1
Positive mentions of rooftop pool/bar, lobby cafe and helpful concierge for tours; rooftop was a recurring bonus for guests.
Value for Money
1
Slightly negative: missing in-house breakfast (only pastries available), parking difficulties and some added-cost items led guests to question value compared with expectations.
Food and Beverage
1
Negative: several guests noted no full breakfast (only pastries), a promised 'signature welcome drink' that was just water, and limited F&B offerings despite a cafe on site.
Overall Experience

Net positive: many guests called the stay beautiful or 'extraordinary' and extended visits; design, staff and location drove high satisfaction, though noise events and some operational issues tempered the experience.

Beautiful hotel in great location!
Pros:

Great location - we walked everywhere! And the hotel is just beautiful. The staff are super friendly and we really enjoyed our room staying nice and cold so when we came back it was refreshing. It was easy to pop back to the hotel between outings as it was so centrally located.

Cons:

The shower is a bit weird. There was hardly any water pressure and it’s on its own. The toilet and sink are on the other side of the room so you have to walk around the bed after your shower to the sink to brush your hair or teeth etc. also the doors to both the shower and toilet are just glass so you can completely see through. Not an issue for us but could be for some.

Great location. The hotel needs to decide if it is a design oasis or a night club.
Pros:

The design and location

Cons:

I had been here before and it was quiet and peaceful. They recently decided to play loud music on the rooftop pool you can hear in your room. Some days music starts at 8 am. We had to call to complain and they turned it down after 9 PM. But it is so loud I couldn’t make a call to my family or hear the TV.

Lovely place to stay!
Pros:

Extremely Vibey, the lobby smelled great when we arrived and is beautifully decorated. The roof deck is just a lovely place to hang out and the cocktails are great. The bed and pillows were very comfy and the room has a mini bar, Nespresso coffee maker and a tea kettle. The location is awesome for exploring downtown and all the wonderful restaurants. Coffee shop is downstairs and the cappuccino was top notch !

Cons:

Room was a little small for two people at 200+ sq feet, we laughed about it as we had to turn to the side to pass. Bathroom has a clear glass door that is open at the top so is a little tricky if you don’t know each other well! There are some nice bathrooms on property so wasn’t an issue for us.
