Cute artsy hotel in Downtown.
They give you free bar drink vouchers upon check-in, which is a relaxing segway into a fun weekend or few days.
Along with the other reviews, don't expect this to be a quiet hotel. It's located right in the middle of downtown, it's expected to be lively and energetic at night. The bar is open practically all night with friendly staff and guests. The lobby is spacious, has various amenities and games. This hotel is good for those who want to have fun with their partner and friends. The ambiance is comforting and there are amazing photo-op areas all around the hotel.
As someone who loves colorful LED lights, I thought this hotel was perfect since it was colorful all throughout the lobby, elevators, hallways, etc.
The rooms are smaller than I expected but it's cozy, the bathrooms are modern which I enjoyed a lot -- as well as a huge flat screen TV that has Netflix, HBO, etc. Each hallway has a closet with extra towels, toothbrushes/toothpaste, razors, toilet paper, everything you could possibly need for the bathroom. That was efficient since it's self-serve instead of having to call front desk.
The only thing is I wish the rooms were a bit bigger and included a mini fridge. The downstairs area has a microwave, utensils/plates/bowls, water, toaster, pretty much a mini kitchen. However, it would've been nice if that was included in the rooms as well since I wouldn't want to constantly go downstairs if I needed to heat something up. And it sucks that I couldn't refrigerate anything perishable since I was visiting from out of town. There are no closets in the room, so the rooms become cramped once it's filled with luggage and other goods. Honestly, these rooms can only fit up to three people MAX, then it becomes insufferable.
Parking situation isn't the best, it would've been great if they had their own private parking garage but the hotel is fairly small. There's a public paid parking lot on the side of the hotel, as well as a parking garage about a block away ($35 overnight) Be careful with parking, our rental got broken into overnight. Not surprised since it wasn't protected and there are no cameras in the lot. Just a fair warning, make sure you take everything out of your car into your hotel room. Or better yet, park in a safe parking garage and uber to the hotel.
Overall, a pretty hotel for younger people. If you want a quiet place, you're going to have to choose a different hotel from the Marriott chain. Would I stay here again? Maybe not. The only thing that would bring people into this hotel would be the bar and lounge area. But for an overnight stay? Not really. You'd be much safer booking a stay at a more secured hotel.
