Nice but a bit run down.

Service was great. Friendly and helpful staff. Exterior and lobby very nice. However, hallways were dark, walls scuffed and dirty, carpet worn and dirty and rooms needed some work. Elevator scuffed and dirty. Bathroom sink had a loud drip sound (some leak either upstairs or down). Rooms had no dresser to hold clothing, No closets. No fridge. Bathroom took up half the entire suite. No ironing board. Ice had to be collected on next floor up (we were on 2nd floor). Breakfast was great: good service and food was excellent.

They downgraded my room to a smaller room with a smaller bed and then it faced the street, even though I booked a room facing the (empty) courtyard. Oh, and there were at least two wedding dance parties in the hotel. So I was awakened at all hours by loud noises during my stay and I was there for business so I was fried and spend 5:30-8 am being awake instead of sleeping in advance of my business meeting

Okay! Not great!

Stay was okay - pretty expensive for what you get considering the rooms are super small. Service was nice. Food wasn’t great at the restaurant so go elsewhere for that. Centrally located so that was a bonus for sure!

If you are considering booking the "Small Courtyard Queen, 1 Queen Bed, Non Smoking, Courtyard View" room, I would strongly advise against it. The pictures are deceiving. I chose this room because the pictures made it seem more spacious than their standard queen room. We had no additional bench seating and only one single chair. When I brought up my concern to the front desk, they only confirmed to me that the room I was assigned to was correct. I would have paid more for an upgrade if they offered me a larger room but they really were not helpful in offering any other solution. I am giving this hotel 3 stars for their cleanliness, the guild cafe staff, and my appreciation for the Le Labo bathroom products.

The resort was in a great area. Main bathroom smell bad and both occasions. The toilets were clogged. Also did not realize how small it would’ve been which was the biggest negative I can take out of everything. The pictures shown for the rooms does it give you a clear examples of how small some are. Would have received much better review if the pictures showed exactly how the room would’ve been size wise need to have paid more money at the Westin or any other local places.

Everything was clean and beautiful. If they put more air freshener to help the room smells nicer would be perfect. Staff all great from the bar, restaurant, valet patking, the bell guy..everyone was nice and friendly. Shout out for the top notch service of the front desk lady name YAN.

Thoughtfully Designed and Comfortable

My favorite hotels are thoughtful hotels like this one. While our room wasn't huge, it felt spacious due to high ceilings and well-planned design. The bed was very comfortable, AC cooled the place well, and it was quiet (except one dog barking on our second night). The bathroom had plenty of hooks and counter space, shower had a shelf for products, and the room had multiple full length mirrors. Staff throughout were polite, and the bartenders were a lot of fun. The hotel is close to Little Italy, so lots of good food is just around the corner. All around great stay.

Overall stay was okay. Beds were nice and comfy . Daily cleaning awesome. Bar experience was nice, Room felt small and always had an odd smell when you enter which you get used to in few minutes. Breakfast incl is great but service extremely unorganized worse that I have seen, actually skipped breakfast one day to escape misery. Missed tickets for few tables they really unable to keep track of guests arrival confusion while serving or taking orders. Better have buffet and not ala carte . Also not flexible considering 28 dollar value you allow, let customer choose an omelette why force them to pick that when its actually few bucks cheaper:) .Not impressed.
