SERVICE & CHECKIN -- Not much energy or banter from these employees. They're some of the stiffest customer facing personalities I've seen to date. Check-in speed is average so it's just awkward for a duration ⌚️.
11:30 late checkout.
🚫Not worth the $40/night resort fees (can't wait until these are outlawed in CA). 🚫
They were ZERO help in recovering items left in the room after checkout (pink google TV remote); low caliber, low class.
LOBBY & TRANSITIONS -- Uniquely curated & well-decorated! Public spaces are elaborate, polished, & designed beautifully.
Navigating the lower levels to reach checkin is more than tolerable.
The hallways had a terrible burnt odor 🤢.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- My first impression was favorable. A generic L-shape layout with a modern design that was easy you settle into. It looked + felt clean & had an alluring aroma.
The dimensions were comfortably spacious for 1 (so-so for 2).
Strong on storage options, workspace setup, & extra seating options.
BED -- Too small & too few pillows. Their build was still respectable & had a nice texture
Good mattress, good linens, good comforters.
Sleep was restful.
BATH -- Old-world wallpaper is reminiscent of a Crowne Plaza / Intercontinental, but aesthetically it's still a beaut' due to the high quality tiling & soaking tub design.
Fashion aside, it wasn't a compelling washroom experience functionally:
Temps were lukewarm (at best) & water pressure was weak. Towels were fair 👍.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- meh... Basic programming.
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Good LTE in the area. WiFi offered great burst speeds.

FOOD & DRINK -- A disappointment; lacking all the staples expected from this kind of old-glamour 4* hotel.
❌DoorDash friendly
❌room service
❌mini bar
❌microwave
There's $35 food & beverage credit to distract from the resort fees, really inconvenient &
It's easy to forget & only valid for your current stay. 3x 12oz drinks were $21 for reference.
NOISE -- Reprehensibly noisy externally if facing market. Quiet halls & sufficient sound-proofing internally.
LOCATION -- The epitome of walkability; easy access to storefronts, restaurants, & public transit. Safe area.
VERDICT
A lot & a little...
The lack of food & drink conveniences left me disappointed. Then there's the dreadful resort fees (🤢) & lack of follow up in tracking down my personal items.
I won't be returning.
Worth a look for the novelty, maybe?
3/5 ⭐️
P.S. if you find a pink Google TV remote, hmu... (offering a $reward)
