No TV and no parking was a bummer. As long as you have your own laptop w/ Netflix or Amazon Prime & you are Ubering/Lyfting everywhere - it's perfect. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE!

Karla

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Disappointed with the condition of the room. The carpet looks and smells dirty, which makes the room smell musty and dusty. The bathroom door in room 3D does not close. The headboard is not properly attached and bounces when one gets on or off the bed. No television which as I understand is not something rooms have but pictures online show a tv in a room and the room we were in has the tv hook up. The towels were stained, I was told we would be getting a new set asap along with a room refresh. Got the towels 2 hours later, which were also stained and the room refresh didn’t happen. There is no daily housekeeping. The location is great.

Overall room was good. The climb up the stairs with no elevator and heavy luggage was not fun. And I think a tv and a few more guest amenities in the room would improve the accommodations. Area around the room is very nice. Lots of cute shops and delicious restaurants

Our code to our room was deactivated late at night and my guest couldn’t get access to her diabetic meds for 2 hours. It stated there was a 24/7 concierge line, but that line would get sent to voicemail repeatedly. After two hours of this, i finally had to search up “emergency contact” for the then room and found someone’s personal number and count get the code switched. This should have never been a problem. Definitely wouldn’t stay here.

Location is always worth a price hike.

It was a nice area and the room was beautifully decorated. Much to my disappointment, there wasn’t a TV, coffee, or ice machine. So, it was lacking in a few amenities that would have made the price worth it.

Lovely stay; room was perfect. Spacious, clean, elegant. Beautiful backyard courtyard with a waterfall fountain gave me a secluded space to relax outside in a very busy neighborhood. The neighborhood was awesome too, so much to see, eat and do. I also got the best massage of my life from the ruby room spa.
