"The entire hotel smelled like cigarette smoke, and felt off from the very beginning. Online the place looked very promising and though the lobby looked out dated I had held out hopes for the rest of the amenities. Getting in the elevator you are immediately greeted with the smell of marijuana and once you're dropped off on your floor you're met with hallway bathrooms, beat up walls and doors, and once again the incredibly overpowering smell of smoke. In our room the bathroom counters had not been cleaned, there were dirty towels on our floors and spots on our blankets. Confident that there was no way our sheets could be clean or that i could continue to stay for the night i attempted to call down to the front desk to see what could be done only to find out that the phone actually had no cords at all. They were able to refund me for the two other nights i was not going to stay but would not compensate for the night i checked in for, though I was in the building less than 20 minutes. "

"Staff exceptionally nice"

" Checked in my restroom had pee all over the toilet like the maid didn't even bother, there was no breakfast, paid for parking thru Expedia but it was not honored at the site, and no breakfast"

"It needs a working fan inside that room that I rented and on top of that it could really use a shower curtain but that's about it oh along with the sockets working couldn't charge my phone all night"

"The property is in need of serious renovation and updates. I was disappointed that there were not more amenities. The staff was somewhat responsive but it took a little longer than expected to resolve a few issues. It’s a good location so I hope it will be upgraded. "

"The building is lovely and beautifully furnished. My room was a bit more tight than expected but comfortable. The rooftop was a great space for a quiet hangout. Wifi was fast. Great small spots nearby like Little Bird bar, Golden Lotus Vegan restaurant, and Oakland Street Food Co. I will stay here again!"

"Breakfast was great and varied but I hate the use of plastic cutlery and disposable plates - does this make them recyclable? Gym is excellent "

"Great, unique"

"They constantly overbook their rooms. Place was nasty. Definitely not being cleaned. "
