This is a nice enough hotel, but for the price, I expect more. All the "fancy" hotels are simply a room. The bathroom had hip decor, but wasn't very functional or all that clean. The fridge was just filled with overpriced mini-bar items...no room for your own water or food items. No coffee machine, unless you asked...and then a charge. No microwave. The bed was fine, pillows okay, and patio opened to big wall. Heat/ AC was inconsistent...never warm enough. There was a nice robe, but again, not a good buy. Next time I will stay at the Residence Inn across the street. May not be as hip, but at least I will get good breakfast, good pillows, and a microwave for a better price. The staff at this hotel was exceptional, I hope they get highly compensated based on the rack rate.
