We celebrated my sister s birthday at THE JOULE last weekend. The experience was excellent all around. Dinner at CBD was fantastic and we had plenty of space to breathe at around 10pm after a few drinks. Staying upstairs was pleasant but the view from 612 was minor. You ll want a room facing either North or South. My sister handled the planning and even though she received an email that said the pool was open and heated, I was disappointed that was not the case. For this reason alone I demoted a star. We had champagne delivered to the room then walked to pick up snacks at the bodega up the street. The location of the hotel is prime, and has entrees with valet on both Commerce and Main Street. The next morning, we sat in the lobby and sipped lattes. The book store and general store offered much entertainment and any necessities you may have needed for an overnight stay.
