Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
This property aims to be young and hip. It puts out fixins for 'smores every evening, to be prepared on the patio fire. Cool. But there are drawbacks. The staff is young and inexperienced; they gave me wrong directions for a restaurant 3 blocks away. I was awakened at 3 am by the loud guest next door; when I tried to call the front desk, the phone did not work. I told the manager the next day -- she told me I should have Googled the hotel from my iphone and called them on it. No apology. Service? Not. When the hotel contacted me for a review, I wrote a critique as above; no one contacted me with an apology or at least a sympathetic comment. I will not be a returning guest.
