I'm between a 3.5 and a 4 here. Let me start by saying I would definitely stay here again -- so…read moremost of my review will be some tips/suggestions if you choose to stay here. Before the tips, here are the things I appreciated:
1. Staff gets 5 stars. Everyone was lovely and helpful.
2. Loved their morning breakfast and little breakfast room.
3. The location can't be beat -- it's not "downtown," and so it's super quiet (usually -- I'll come back to that) both during the day and at night.
So, a few things to consider:
1. Check in with the hotel ahead of time to see whether they're still under construction. The air was out, and the first room I was put into didn't have a window -- it had a hatch that opened into the air shaft. I'm too claustrophobic for that, but if you are really looking just for a place to hang your hat at the end of the day, maybe that won't be an issue for you.
2. If you can afford it, get a premium room with a balcony. When I had to switch rooms the only one available was on the top floor, and the view was amazing. I actually did spend a day mostly in the room working, and with the beautiful weather, I could be outside. A few things to keep in mind, though, is that while there is an elevator, it only goes to the 5th floor. So if stairs are an accessibility issue, a 6th floor room is out for you.
3. It's a non-smoking hotel -- but at around 2:30 in the morning my last night there, I was overwhelmed by cigarette smoke from the hallway. I looked out and couldn't tell whether it was another hotel guest or some work people who were doing a later night shift, but it kept me up for the rest of the night. If you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, I'd recommend making that clear when you reserve. I opened the door to the balcony which helped bring in some fresh air, so again, so glad I had that option!
All that aside, the bathroom was awesome; I found the room comfortable and bright. Even with the few bumps I had, I definitely would return.
