8.2/10 Very Good! (13 reviews)
Lovely building but though high-ceilinged, rooms were stuffy. Marble work in bathroom but shower drained poorly and bathroom could be cleaner. Staff was pleasant and helpful, but not available before 7am. They have to let you out of the locked gate and buzz you in. One little bottled water per room (we were two). Location on busy street, very walkable area.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)
The property is beautiful and modern. The art around the property is amazing!! Staff was pleasant. The listing for the king indicates washer and dryer which is not the case. They charge to use coffee maker in room. They offer a non alcoholic welcome drink if interested. No ice on floor must go down to hotel. Overall an ok stay
