Great location, but knew what to expect as have visited the area before. Helpful staff on arrival. Made use of lounge area as I arrived earlier than check-in time. Room very clean and comfortable. Also close to pool. Loved the pool and used it at least once a day. Good chambermaid service. Despite the very hot weather throughout my stay, loved that the room was quite cool without using AC.

For this standard of hotel, I felt the maintenance of the room was not up to date. The wooden desk/counter was quite chipped, leather top marked and stitching was worn. Also some paint missing/scratches on the wall by the TV and all the television cabling was messy ... should have been tidied up better. Would also have been good to have some electric sockets at desk level. Disappointed that on check in, it wasn't pointed out that any music/noise from the main area of the hotel is very audible in room 222. Fortunately I am not a light sleeper but I know quite a few people who would have found this annoying. I'm not complaining about the noise, but it should be mentioned to guests when checking in.

I REALLY liked the location. I meant to stay out of downtown and this is a cool pocket of the city. Very walk able area. The staff was very helpful and the room was decent and well styled for the price. As a rule I hate open showers because you get cold, but somehow I never got cold thankfully! I ate at the Otoko sushi/whiskey bar the first night and had breakfast in the hotel the next morning. Both were good.

I think the only frustrating thing was the hallway AC unit. I was one or two rooms away and it was making an odd humming noise. During the day you would not notice it, but at night you definitely could hear it. I spoke to a couple of the staff, one seemed surprised by it, the other already knew of this continual problem. They can say it's normal, but it was not normal to me. Why, because I've NEVER found that to be the case in a single other hotel. Not sure if it can be fixed, so it needs to be replaced! I put my airpods in the first night, the second night I slept deeper so it was ok. A light sleeper would have to move.

The location is wonderful and the aesthetic is great. Once we arrived, we didn’t have to drive anywhere. Staff was consistently helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the variety of restaurants on site.

Parking is very high for guests. Mini bar had some expired items and we had a leak in our room ceiling. The filament lighting can leave the room quite dark.

Every person we came into contact with was friendly, helpful, and professional. Very clean hotel. Loved the large bathroom. The pool itself refreshing and pool service amazing.

The pool area has loose cement blocks. We would have preferred to stay in a quieter room. New matrices are in order.

I loved the gorgeous design of the hotel, and the spectacular rooftop pool.

It would have been nice to have a more private shower, the glass wall was uncomfortable in the bathroom that could be seen from the bedroom. If traveling as a couple, no problem, but good to note if with family or friends.

Location was excellent! Love the area. Hotel was beautiful modern and comfy. Good size rooms and comfy bed. Nice bathroom.

Only thing I would have liked is a coffee maker in the room or some coffee station in the hotel.

Very funky vibe and decor at hotel. The downstairs steak restaurant was very good.

Better suited for young people than families - non-guests are permitted to use pool so often impossible to get space at the pool on weekends.

Staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. The property was beautiful and location was right in the middle of the cute part of SOCO. The various restaurants and bars was the cherry on top!

Nothing, I’m recommending this hotel to everyone.

Fitness center was very small and some of the stuff in there was broken.

Very large airy room with an excellent bathroom. The design asthetic is great, a good balance between open space and well-placed furniture. The space is very personal. It is the anti-corporate hotel.
