The property is in a great location and very walkable to main tourist attractions. There is NO coffee maker in the room. This was a disappointment. They do have coffee and tea in the lobby. The cups are super small and there was no decaf coffee ( my husband drinks decaf) and only herbal tea, nothing with caffiene for me. They put it away pretty early so if you dont get down there early, you're out of luck. The hotel is decorated super cute, very electic. Mostly the hotel was clean. My complaint and why i gave 3 stars for cleanliness was because there was a flea in our room. They do allow dogs. I guess thats how it got there. Not much space in the bathroom, limited hooks to hang things. Also, they have a barn door for the bathroom and no fan in the bathroom. I hate that! The roof top bar is nice, they have great drinks. But they do close for private parties. We could only go up one night. The next night it was closed. Would I stay here again? Maybe, if I couldnt get in somewhere else, I would. I would look else where first.

They gave me the worst room possible. Interior room facing dark courtyard. The room itself was so beat up it’s like it hasn’t been refreshed in a decade. From the rusted Qtip amenity jar to the ratty carpet that was peeling up- I didn’t have to search for the disgusting imperfections of this room- no, they kept jumping out at me! Water stains on all furniture, curtains that are off their tracks, bedsheets that weren’t even tucked in to the mattress and the beat up corners and edges on anything that had legs…. The list goes on and on. Truly I was too tired to request a room change but I knew from the bad attitude I was given from the front desk upon checkin that any room at this hotel was going to be bad. I guess this negative experience started at the front door where the doorman glanced at me, and then promptly turned away leaving me to open the door and pull in my own luggage. I walked to the front desk and the attendants stared at me like “what do you want?” Dinner at the Red Owl Tavern was not great- especially for the price. I had the roast chicken for $22 and it was salty and clearly not freshlly prepared. The AC blew freezing cold air all night even though I had the temp set at 72 degrees. I had to wear earplugs to sleep because I could hear the elevator going up and down all night. Overall, the property, the restaurant, and my room was in disrepair. I expected more from this brand hotel and was extremely disappointed. I would never stay there again.

After we stayed for a night, we went out to sight-see from 930am-530pm. Came back to see our room door had been left open ALL DAY by housekeeping. Anyone could have been in our room and could still be in there. Asked the hotel to check cameras and they said sorry, no cameras in that hallway. Our two young children were scared out of their minds and we ended up cutting our trip short and driving 5 hours home that night. When we left we were told we couldn’t be charged the remainder of our stay and they would take care of it. 10 days later still no refund. I called the hotel 3 days ago and asked for a call back from a supervisor and have not received one. I would NEVER go back to this hotel.

The check-in was great Consuela was amazing. The rooms had films of dust On the furniture. The room is carpeted and there was visible dust on the floor near the furniture. They advertised walking shower but the two rooms I received had old tubs and the grouting had mildew. The bathroom fixtures, tissue holder and soap holder had rust all over. And rust markings all over the sink. It is pet friendly, all the elevators were covered in pet hair. I did valet parking. That was horrible. It was raining the first day, they brought my car down but parked it around the corner and gave me to the keys to get my own car in the pouring rain. Then they texted me stating my car is ready. When I arrived they returned my car by accident so I had to wait another 20 minutes which made me late for an event.
