The location was great and very convenient to access great dining and shopping options. We were frustrated with the view. We paid extra for a “city view” and had a view of the hotel across the street but no skyline view. Waste of our money to put towards a city view. The beds were very comfortable and the room was aesthetically pleasing, but the AC was “motion activated” and would turn off while we were away or in the middle of the night. It got up to 78 degrees at one point. We even set the thermostat to 60 degrees and the lowest it ever got was 74 even when we closed the blinds. We noticed that the thermostat would even turn off while we were in the room. The front desk was notified about the thermostat and never came to assess or resolve the situation. The TV would not turn on multiple times. We had to call the front desk to fix it. We went to the bar one night, and the drinks were not good and expensive. We didn’t finish our drinks because they didn’t taste good. Very aesthetic but not tasty.

The design of this hotel is really nice. As an interior designer, i love it. As a traveler, not completely satisfied. I stayed in room 411 for 3 nights. - Curtain has a weird smell, like bug smell or something of that source. - TV didn’t work twice in 3 days we stayed. First time we called the front desk and has a technician came up to reset, second time was our last day so we just gave up. The remote control is not responsive at all, take 3s for TV to response to the remote. - No slipper in the room. We called front desk to request but they said they ran out (?!?!). - They didn’t refill the tissue in the room, we called to request, no one bring up (we called twice).
