Fabulous vibe. Gorgeous industrial design. Epic location. We didn’t want to leave!!! Only pet down was the pool. It was a small dipping triangle and the area was full of adults drinking so kids were a bit sad but otherwise- fabulous!

Not a fan

The room was small. Definitely ask for a room away from the Ltrain and one that is at least on the 7th floor. The rooftop bar is nice but drinks will set u back depending on what u drink. Me I had a small DBL of buffalo trace n it cost me 35$. The token they give u for the drink around the corner. Don't plan on eating. Lastly, the bed was hard n it took me a minute to unlock the door😜 for the first time in the city. Definitely better choices for the money

We got to the hotel and the lady at the service counter, even though it is a self check out I needed help and she didn’t wanna help me. I finally got her to help and she kept stopping to help other people in the middle of serving me on top of all that there was Homosexual symbolism all throughout the hotel that was very uncomfortable to me and my wife videos of homosexual activity on the elevator, the room was terribly small. The air conditioner did not work and then proceeded to condensate all over the floor.
