This place is an old run down hotel, masquerading as an upscale hotel, masquerading as a no frills hotel. It's a confusing mess. I guess they are going for "shabby chic" but I think they should fire their designer...
The only people who will be nice to you are those that work for tips. I have stayed in some of the finest hotels in the world where the hotel staff is snobby but NICE to paying hotel guests. They have not figured this out at The Standard.
I was going to the pool at noon to lay out and get a swim in and was searched and had to throw a bottle a water away? Are you serious...at the pool? I know it's some trendy spot or whatever but I was not impressed. Over priced drinks and a bunch of 25 year old hood rats. No thanks.
The only good things I can come up with.... the view from the pool is pretty cool. The building is historic which is kind of cool. It's relatively clean. If you are young, looking for a place to crash and don't mind being treated like cattle this may be the hotel for you.
