Beautiful hotel but until they get proper city windows I would stay again.
Pros:

I love 21 c hotels. The art installations are beautiful and moving. The staff were welcoming and kind. The downtown location is great-it’s convenient and very walkable.

Cons:

The location is great, however, the windows in the building are not proper city windows that deaden sound. There were a shocking number of motorcycles and loud cars through the night. I lived next to the BQE highway in NYC for years and never did it sound as loud as the vehicles passing through here. The room could have been cleaner as well. The phone had clearly not been cleaned in a long time, the nightstand was so dusty it made me feel like the rest of the room wasn’t as clean as it appeared.

Pros:

Ceiling and floor tiles were missing. Just looked not the cleanest because of that. There was no soap in the shower. The sink was also clogged. I feel like $300 was a lot to spend on what we got

Cons:

Just a lot of money for what you got.

Pros:

Property was exceptional. Loved the location.

Cons:

The dining room divider was open, the mater di was at his station and I walked in and asked to be seated. Mater di says, "We're not open yet??
Now to be sure I was wearing jeans and a tee shirt, I was traveling on my motorcycle.
Now if there is a dress code I could accept that but the reason that was offered seemed a bit unauthentic.
Not to worry, I dined next door and had a marvelous meal.
Sign me, disappointed!

The 21c Museum Hotel strikes an excellent balance between historic and contemporary.
Pros:

The breakfast was delicious, on time, and delivered to the room by a courteous server.

Cons:

My husband and I thought the museum was excellent and thought provoking. It's too bad one gallery was empty.

Loved it!
Pros:

It had things to do at every turn and so close to everything downtown! They even brought up little things for us because I told them it was our first trip away from kids!

Cons:

Parking is a bit steep but it is in the heart of downtown so understandable
