Beautiful accommodations. Very considerate staff. Nice breakfast buffet included with room. Love quartermaster as well!

Jan 31, 2019
After we'd been travelling for 19 hours, a overly-theatrical young man herded us to the 3rd floor - luggage and all - for a semi-mandatory "tour" before taking the elevator down - luggage and all - and depositing us in the room. It wasn't exactly what my soul craved at the moment; luckily it got much better after that. Positives: Perfect location, comfortable bed, dark room for sleeping, excellent shower pressure, pleasant guests, beautiful roof deck, hot tub, sauna, breakfast included, reasonable rates Negatives: Said breakfast left a lot to be desired. If the meatless quiches were tired on day 2, by day 5 the aroma was enough to drive you elsewhere for your morning meal. Hashtag variety is the spice of life. While the staff was helpful, balance between graceful hospitality and intrusiveness remains a work in progress. This place hasn't quite figured out what it wants to be, starting with the faux-pretentious name, which may or may not be missing a possessive. It's as if someone read a book about what millenials want in a hotel and built a business plan around it. Sure, the reimagined prison sweatsuit robe was functional, Netflix access convenient and I did notice that the bathroom rubbish bin blended in well with the floor. Priorities seem a bit skewed, though. Excellent restaurant, less-than-mediocre breakfast; a lounge so pristine you don't feel relaxed or free; unwritten and written rules abound. Am I wrong to want a simple fluffy robe, cable TV in the room and a fireplace with actual burning wood? PS For $17 the shampoo is free

Extraordinary experience. Staff was amazing, helpful, and friendly. Building is spectacular, and every little design detail taken into consideration. Extremely clean and well maintained. Especially enjoyed the quaint feeling, worth every penny.
