This was our second time staying at the Blake. We love the ambiance and the staff. They have the nicest valet parking attendants as well as front desk folks. They take things seriously, but are still super friendly. Very professional. The room was spacious and lovely. We loved the decide that pays hommage to the history of the area. The bathroom was lovely with a big shower and nice decor. The only hiccup was all of the construction in front of their entrance, but that can hardly be helped. Tha KS for a great stay!

Sheritta at the front desk checked me in and Tim checked me out. They were uniformly fast and thorough at their jobs and made me feel welcomed and appreciated. Both responded promptly to my intervening (and sometimes odd) inquiries using their messaging concierge service. Five stars! Michael and Showtime helped with my bags. I remembered them both from my previous stay - their hospitality was one of the reasons I returned and why I will continue to do so. Five stars! Meli Cafe was great for breakfast both mornings of my quick trip; generous portions at reasonable price; quietly attentive and outstanding service. Five stars!

The room was spacious and clean. The only critique I would have is a couple of extra bath towels. So minor but would have been a great touch.

The bathroom was clean, if you notice white substance around the sinks and shower head, it is just hard water. Nothing to be alarmed about. The room is very clean and the view from the window is very nice. The room is not sound proof from the outside noises like emergency vehicle sirens or car horns, but they do have new ear plugs on the side of the bed if needed. Overall, amazing stay and it is close to most things within the city.
