I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were beautiful with a nice custom touch and very quiet all night. However, being above a restaurant made the room a bit humid, even causing my clothes to feel damp at times.

I was thrilled with the location of the hotel right in the heart of the Gayborhood, surrounded by great bars and restaurants. The room itself was spacious, beautifully appointed, and up to date with all amenities. The service was exceptional, with a very friendly and informative staff. However, the dining experience was a bit subpar as it was lacking in variety and freshness. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel is situated in the heart of the vibrant Gayborhood neighborhood, offering a great buzz and easy access to nightlife, restaurants, and shopping. The service was incredibly attentive and helpful, ensuring a comfortable stay despite some initial confusion. The dining experience provided fresh and local products delivered right to my room. However, the rooms boasted beautiful custom touches but faced some issues during check-in, and the price was a bit steep for the amenities offered.

The hotel was in a lively area close to city highlights, offering a great mix of comfort and noise. The rooms were beautifully kept, but the nighttime noise from the nearby restaurant could be bothersome at times. The service was accommodating, despite a slight issue with switching hotels. The location was superb, within walking distance of many dining options. The dining experience was nice, though limited seating arrangements in the rooms. Overall, a convenient stay with minor inconveniences.
