Pros- central location, safe and clean
Cons- room layout, A/C, no microwave, $50 daily valet is only parking option
We stated here over the traditional Hilton or Holiday Inn type hotel because my husband got a deep discount from work travel points, etc. That made it worth it for us. But if we had it to do over again, we'd stay somewhere else.
The layout of the room is wonky and cramped. It's like a big square that has a wall running down the middle, separating 2/3 of the space where the beds are from the 1/3 that is the bathroom- literally. The bathroom is not a separate room. So at the foot of the beds is maybe four feet, then the wall separating the bathroom from the beds that has two doorways on either extreme that lead into either end of the "bathroom." This is a galley-style with the toilet and shower each against that center wall, and enclosed in their own shower-stall. The main door to the room opens up into this bathroom/galley area, so there is a shower curtain to pull across for privacy in case someone opens the main door, with the opposite end being the window wall to outside. If you get up to pee at night, you have two options: pee in the dark, or turn on the bathroom lights. Since the bathroom openish concept w the room itself, this means the bedroom gets halfway illuminated, too. This also means that the room gets super humid and stuffy from the shower- and the air conditioning is a whole show. It's loud and cuts on and off, and there are two options: suffocate or freeze. There aren't any closets or dressers, so I haven't found any blankets other than the down duvet on the bed. So we are opting for the Arctic blast while sleeping under a million-degree duvet. No iron, no place to hang or set suitcases, no microwave.
Industrial chic, artsy modern decor- but they forgot this is a hotel where people are traveling and need a place to put their stuff besides the floor, and a place to put and heat food. No iron, ironing board, but I just found a steamer, so that works.
This was our first and last time, unless my husband gets points again and our stay is free or close to it!
