Reviews

  • Matthew from United States – 30 April 2025 (9/10)

    The rustic coziness.

    What could be improved: Lack of parking.

  • Supavun from Thailand – 25 April 2025 (8/10)

    Comfortable bed. Good room size. We stayed for 5 nights. On the 4th night, leaks from bathroom ceiling. They moved us to another room which is very courteous as it was larger. Thank you.

    What could be improved: Our room was on the fifth floor. 10 pm at night onwards, can hear people slam doors many times. also, there were noises in the ceiling and from air dent.

  • Pamela from Canada – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

    Friendly staff
    Great gyms
    Clean, large rooms

    What could be improved: Issues which involved our shower leaking into room below us – but it was well addressed by staff

  • Joann from United States – 14 April 2025 (9/10)

    Great staff, welcoming, friendly and helpful! Room was beautiful and larger than expected

  • Mason from United States – 30 March 2025 (8/10)

    The location was great. Only a few blocks from Pike’s Market and the piers. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Guest services were friendly.

    What could be improved: The resort fee was ridiculous. This hotel wasn’t a resort and there weren’t many resort services. Although there was a “mini bar”/refrigerator in the room the beverages and snacks were outrageously priced. There was a 3 year old craft brew (Christmas seasonal) left as our beer selection. Just reduce or remove the resort fee.

    The bar/cafe left us wanting more. They closed at 10pm and on Friday when they stayed open until 11pm, they wouldn’t serve cocktails after 9:30. During breakfast, you could only have hard boiled or scrambled eggs. The coffee was lukewarm; terrible for a city renowned for its coffee scene.

    There’s a perfume store as you enter the hotel. If you’re sensitive to odors, this is a big let down. And, it wafts into the cafe/bar across the corridor.

    The valet damaged the car of our traveling partners. It was discovered when they were checking out. Not sure how it will end, they’re investigating.

  • Mary from United States – 19 March 2025 (8/10)

    Bed comfortable
    Location

    What could be improved: Would have liked to have concierge, vending machines,

  • Todd from United States – 26 February 2025 (9/10)

    The location was perfect — a short walk down to the waterfront and close to all of the tourist sites. Easy to get around on foot. Ubers were prompt for longer rides. I upgraded to a suite and it was huge! More space than I really needed, but it was a very pleasant surprise. Coffee maker in the room was great for morning before embarking on my day. The bathroom was large with a walk-in shower. Very comfortable bed. Great design in the room with nice, upscale furnishings.

    What could be improved: I did not eat at the hotel, so cannot comment on any of the food offerings.

  • Juanita from Canada – 24 February 2025 (9/10)

    Location was great , ate dinner it was good, our room was spacious clean and very quiet, calm and serene.

    What could be improved: 1 ply toilet paper.

  • Bruce from United States – 1 February 2025 (9/10)

    The hotel is beautiful, with beatiful artwork throughout. The staff was always extremely pleasant and helpful. The bar/restaurant has great ambiance that comlliments and enhances the stay.

    What could be improved: They didn’t mention that breakfast was served in the restaurant each morning. The restaurant hours in the elevator gave the impression that they didn’t.

  • Sharon from United Kingdom – 13 January 2025 (9/10)

    Hotel was excellent, everything about was wonderful. The room was a great size, staff were very helpful, it was modern and clean. We ate at the Bookstore Bar, which again was excellent and the staff very helpful.
