There are flaws
The overall vibe of the hotel is cool but the room we had was not designed well. It was extremely difficult to get into the bathroom and close the door, the shower water leaked all over the floor no matter how low/high you had the water pressure and the fire alarm started beeping every time someone took a hot shower.

Don’t waste your time!
The bathroom was very small. The shower was awful to work. The bedroom was tiny!!!!! They did not state it was less than queen bed but rather a full sized bed. Definitely not for a small family . Our two little girls didn’t even fit! Awful hidden fees. They charged us for amenities… that basically included a gym which we never used!!!! Our room wasn’t even clean! Found dirty socks in room!

This is my second time at the Riggs. When I first booked for one night price was high and I was disappointed. I checked before my trip and price was more reasonable & I decided to go with something that I liked . Great upgrade and amenities. The bar restaurant a plus .

Fab location, superb friendliness and extremely well trained and accommodating staff, and a lively and hip place near a plethora of good restaurants (including at least four or five by José Andre). The City Center near by has most of the great European designers. A+
