The hotel has such a unique aesthetic. Such a cool boutique type hotel. I researched via social media posts & booked our room. They advertise valet, but no valet anymore and no hotel parking lot. Off street parking in a neighborhood area is available .... check in went well. Our room was hot, had to have hvac turned on, and then toilet also did not work. We attempted to fix it ourself by taking the back off (maybe just a chain issue) but no luck. No phones in the room so had to go back down to desk to ask for maintenance help. Maintenance had left for the day, manager on duty was no help as he shared he was busy busing tables at the bar. Asked for new room (any room) but was told no rooms available.... the manager of the property told the receptionist to offer to "comp our weekend stay and offer another room key on a different floor - we could stay in our room but then when we need to use the bathroom facilities we could go to the floor above us, & use the other room key. Why not stay in that room you ask? Jvac not working . This was the most bizzare solution to any hotel challenge I've ever heard of. The staff were super stressed but were doing the best they can with no real management help. We ultimately packed up our room & headed to Hyatt. What a mess. Would never recommend . And I really wanted to love it here

Great location but a few issues. The first night we were there the property had A/C issues being that it was 64 degrees no matter what and the entire building was freezing and that evening the A/C was then shut off and was 78 degrees. The bars are both nice but again with it being so cold it really wasn't as enjoyable even with a jacket and a fleece. The second night while we were getting ready we got a call that there was a leak under us. Management came to the room and told us that our room caused the leak in the Ash bar. The faucets were off in our room, no water/leak visible and the shower was turned off.....but we were told that the handle must be closed tighter. The rooms were small but the bed was comfortable and all of the staff were very kind/professional.

Overall, my stay was pleasant. However, I was disappointed that there was no ironing board available. The steamer provided did not work, and I unfortunately did not have time to request a replacement. Additionally, despite calling ahead to confirm that I had booked a second night, this information was not communicated to the staff. I received a call asking me to vacate the room before the mistake was realized. No apology was offered for the inconvenience.

Unique overnight stay. We wanted to stay somewhere different than the usual, ordinary, hotel stay. They have vintage decor, comfortable beds, clean rooms and a welcoming front desk gentleman. Overal, great experience.

The hotel was great. Bothe the ash-bar and blooms were amazing. The service by everyone was amazing. The only issue we had was that our AC unit didn’t work so the room was terribly hot.
