SERVICE -- 👍 great
Very professional & helpful staff. They seemed intimately familiar with the property & everyone I interacted with was personable.
The checkin area is a bit tight & the placement has a slightly awkward flow, but it's quite fast & early checkin was available.
Parking is available on site as well.
ROOM [Superior King Room]-- 👍 great
Great aroma & ambience when you enter the building, leading all the way into the room.
The interior design & attention to detail was exceptional. Lots of creative textures everywhere: grooved wallpaper, hardwood panels & flooring, ergonomic lounge chair; leather-strapped armoire -- the list goes on!
Dimensions were spacious (comfortably for 2), but not much storage space for personal effects except the wardrobe. Remote-controlled shades & blackout curtains over the sliding balcony door were convenient & fun to use.
The arrangement was especially conducive for remote work, thanks to the huge desk, although this chair pairing wasn't the most comfortable.
+1 for the larger recycling receptacles ♻️.
BED -- 👍 great
I’ve always had great experiences with Beautyrest mattresses, and this one was no different. The monogrammed sheets were exceptionally comfortable, complemented by the swath of King-size down pillows.
And as far as duvets go: this was one of the best I've encountered all year (2023).
Beside utility was equally perfect: reading lights were conveniently built into the headboard & the bedside tables offer plenty of USB and 3-pronged outlets w/o compromising on tabletop space.
BATH -- 👍 good
Glass walk-in shower with French Momo bath products (these are surprisingly mostly sulfates so bring your own).
Water pressure was great when showering but weak when using a sink. The sink was also slow to heat & the design isn't as functional or intuitive as it should be. It's a great aesthetic though.
Towels are on the larger side & they provide an ultra soft, form fitting, bathrobe -- with hood!
TV -- 👍 great
65" Samsung HD flat screen with basic wall-mount. Good quality picture & no hassles.
WI-FI -- 👍 great
2-4x faster than majority of the free tiers @ casual hotels, so no complaints!
43-56 Mbps download
49-50 Mbps upload
FOOD & DRINK -- 👍 good
DoorDash friendly.
Room service, through the oak+violet restaurant, was very allergen conscious. There were a multitude of gluten free & vegetarian options to choose from.
The onsite bar had an extensive wine list & the atmosphere was prime for a few glasses.
In-room was a clever coffee bar setup that discretely slide in and out from under the desk; very smooth & convenient.
NOISE -- 👎 poor
Peaceful & quiet inside.
Externally? The car wash across the street was a nightmare: lots of loud mariachi & power cleaning equipment. Keep the balcony door closed if looking for R&R.
RECOMMENDATION
Final Price: $193/night
Was it worth it: yes
Best part: bed
Great service, food, & well-appointed rooms.
Nearly perfect except for receiving a room facing the obnoxiously loud car wash.
Worthy of an extended stay or your next workcation. I look forward to returning.
Highly recommended.
4.5/5⭐️
