Cool hotel and bar!
Very cool vibe and decor in the rooms, lobby, and bar. The bar/lounge is a destination in and of itself! In a great location - walkable to tons of restaurants, the park, etc. Parking garage was $50/24 hours but you have to come back to move the car every 24 hours which is a bit of a pain. Bathrooms and elevator are very small which was fine for us but worth noting if you are larger or claustrophobic.

While the room was a great value for the money the room was really really small, there wasn’t a good place to put the luggage and we tripped over it a few times. The first 2 days in the room there was a bad sewer gas smell, to the hotels credit as soon as it was mentioned their maintenance guy pulled up the toilet and replaced the beeswax ring which fixed the issue! He did a great job and made sure it fixed the issue.

My room is tiny with no view. The shower area needs a grip handle--it looked dangerous, a person could easily fall without safety. I decided not to use the shower for that reason.
