OMG, I'm gonna have a problem ever staying at a regular hotel after two nights at Roost. It was so amazing. The room is huge - a nice bedroom with a huge walk-in closet, a separate office room, washing machine and dryer in the unit, a beautifully fully stocked kitchen in which I could have cooked anything, a kitchen island with space for three to eat, a large living room with a huge TV, and a city view to boot. You know when you look at pictures of hotel rooms when you're doing a search and they look really nice and then you get there it looks like crap? I was thinking this was going to be like that but it was exactly the opposite. Was far better than I expected and the best part was it was actually less expensive to some of the better hotels in the area. The building also has a beautiful workout gym, a family community room, patio on the top floor which I never got to and it's two blocks away from the basketball arena and three blocks away from the baseball stadium. If you're there for the NFL or the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, it's a 15-minute walk. It's less than a block away from a street with all the chic and cool restaurants and the House of Blues, for people coming out of the local stadiums and arenas after events. Parking is kind of interesting, especially when you go in and out of the building, but it's very safe and very convenient once you figure it out. Finally, the staff is so friendly and accommodating - they walked me to my room because I never would have found it without somebody giving me directions and when I forgot my key and was locked out of the building, they worked very quickly and efficiently to get me another one. The building is very safe and secure and the surrounding areas are really nice. I felt very safe at night walking in and out of the building and in the morning walking out to get coffee. The units are a mix of short hotel stays like mine which are brief and people who live there more permanently, so it's kind of a combination of an apartment building with really nice rooms that people rent on a long-term basis and for rooms that are vacant, they rent them out as a hotel for people in town for short stays, like me. Don't ever stay at a regular hotel again!
