「Wouldn’t Return for this Stylish, Well-Located luxury Inn」 The ‘hotel’ has a beautifully designed lobby and public areas, the staffs were very polite and helpful. The location is excellent—super convenient for shopping and getting around. !BUT: 1.Poor Soundproofing – clearly hear noise from the street, hallway, and rooms above and below. Very disruptive, day and night(afternoon would be better). 2.Hot and Uncomfortable Room on Arrival – was extremely hot when I checked in. The air conditioning was turned off as part of their “eco” policy(maybe i guesses), and the amenities were extremely minimal—just basic towels and toiletries. 3.Flawed Water Refill System – While I appreciate the idea of reducing plastic waste, but the provided bottles didn’t fit the water dispensers properly. Every refill was a mess, with water spilling on my arm, shoes, and all over the floor. 4.Hot Water Delay – It took quite a long time for hot water to come through the shower each day. 5.Questionable Bed Hygiene – On first night, noticed strange hairs between the bed sheet and mattress. They were visible through the sheet In short, this ‘hotel’ might suit younger, trend-focused travelers who care more about aesthetics than comfort. It feels like a luxurious, design-forward budget hotel—stylish, yes, but not worth the price in terms of that comfort

A real hipster vibe with stylish, modern amenities, clean and near the east village where my daughter lives. A nice cafe to get coffee in the morning and comfortable places to sit and work, read, or wait for a friend. Service was very nice, met requests quickly and gladly. The only hiccup, and this is probably because I am not in the bell curve of their target demographic; I am a middle aged woman, though still a hipster, but didn't especially appreciate the loud bass thumping at all hours Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday evening. I was on the 4th floor, you can't help but be sandwiched between the nightclubs hopping above and below you. I'm a solid sleeper so I did fall asleep eventually, but was awoken by loud drunken guests in the hallway at 3AM, another drawback. The hotel sent security quickly to summarily shush and corral the folks into their rooms. If the club scene doesn't bother you then its a beautiful hotel, with a lively night life, and considerate and professional staff. I wouldn't necessarily outright decline staying there again, but I'd worry about the club scene at night. The clubs admittedly looked exciting, fun and tres chic. The bed was very comfortable and the room overall was a lovely place to settle at the end of a busy day.
