Love a hotel that is design forward. Beautiful common spaces. Well appointed rooms. Rooms are smaller but as expected in an urban city. Very clean and convenient for business travel. Took advantage of the free postcards to send a few to friends and family. Nice touch.

Allergy to animal dander

Had a lovely room on the 17th floor with a city view. I wasn’t aware that the hotel became pet friendly. I was awakened by a barking dog that was coming from next door. It’s unfortunate but will not be staying here again as I am allergic to pet dander. It’s no wonder I had to take my allergy meds during my stay.
