It was an okay experience. We ordered room service and the grilled cheese was not tasty at all. The $100 hold a night I’m not a huge fan of and the room needs updating for the price we paid. Also the mini fridge in the room wasn’t plugged in which took some time to figure out. I give my stay a 6/10

We had a lovely view of the river, especially of the city lights at night. The hotel was clean, the bed was especially comfortable, and the staff were lovely. The nearest metro station was a short walk away and there were plenty of dining options nearby. Can't wait to stay here again!

No where to sit and dine

Stay was very nice the only issue we had was that there was no prior notice regarding the state of the two places to eat within the hotel (a huge part of the reason we booked here was to stay put and eat in the hotel.) upon call to the desk that evening discovered the Roof location was closed until 1/11 and we were directed to the downstairs location - upon our arrival down there we were informed that it too was under improvements and was not open to be able to sit at an actual table and eat. Since we had not made any other arrangements, we were forced to dine at the bar. Food was good and drinks were good however we had not planned on spending the money we did to stay at a hotel where we had to dine while sitting at the actual Bar.

Overall a decent stay

Hotel is solid, We had to change rooms because our initial bed sheets were dirty but they were very helpful getting us a new room after I mentioned it. Hotel is a bit older feeling and not super modern but still very nice and I’d stay here again
