The hotel is ideally located and the room was spacious. I did not realize that the hotel is dog friendly to the point that 75% of customers had dogs in the lobby, elevators, and rooms. I felt like I was at a dog hotel. I am a dog lover but it was just a bit much. There were dogs sitting on furniture, dogs barking in the lobby, and dogs barking while we tried to enjoy the room. The restaurant bar and restaurant were enjoyable and the staff was helpful. If it were not for the extreme number of dogs I would return.

Everything was great! My bestfriend and Insoent a girls weekend and Kimpton made our stay amazing. Tommy at the front was always there to help, the gentlemen at the door always greeted us with a warm smile when we’d come in, and special thank you to the gentlemen who invited us to the rooftop party! Everything was beautiful! Thank you.

Friendly Staff, ( especially Hayden), great rooms and location, BUT seriously understaffed. I had to wait 30 minutes to check in. I had to wait so long to buy some of the lobby snacks that I gave up, $50 for overnight parking but then I found out that the parking structure next-door is $40 overnight and they’re adding 50 on top of that. Not the same place since they’ve been bought.
