This hotel is pretentious and more expensive than others. The common areas are beautiful but the rooms are small and claustrophobic. There are no extra blankets and the thinnest covers they could find. The king room I booked turned out to have a queen bed, and the sink and shower were In the bedroom, the toilet was a half bath with just a sliding door. Going poo-poo smelled up the whole room. The hotel touts itself as a wedding destination but it's anything but romantic when you have to basically poo in front of your betrothed or your plus one. Every single thing is an upcharge. Parking 28 dollars a night plus mandatory valet fee. early check in online 100 dollars extra charge. A movie? 26-32 dollars per movie in your hotel room. Breakfast is not included and is a la carte - even though the rooms are 175 dollars and up per night.
The rooms are just not good. Hard to find light switches, end table only on one side, our bed had metal poking out the side - making it dangerous to get in. No carpeting and no soundproofing with all hard surfaces which amplifies sound from inside and out, the shelving and fixtures are cheap, the tv you have to cast your own services onto it or pay 26 dollars and up for movies, the blankets are thin, the windows are sweating when cold outside, the bathroom is weird, the shower and sink are open into the whole room so zero privacy and the toilet has a sliding door that has gaps so no privacy there either.
The restaurant up on the roof is nice but extremely loud. There were about 20-25 people there for a party and they were spread out talking In small groups and you could not hear anything with all the noise. Fron just a few groups talking at once. The bar downstairs didn't. Appear to be open the entire time we were there, breakfast was super expensive and the coffee shop had limited hours. The espressos were the least expensive and most quality of anything there.
The selling point was the neighborhood. It's in Lawrenceville which is a great place to hangout, shot, eat, and just enjoy the people.
The hotel is in such a nice area. But it really is lacking in so many ways.
They need to redo the rooms. Make them larger or make two small ones into a suite. It just needs an overhaul and to change the policies a lot. Stop upcharging for every little thing, include parking and breakfast, upgrade the rooms, and it would be fantastic.
