I was expecting a glorious stay, and things like the bed & shower were top notch. But i did have a few concerns to share...the thistle rugs are uncomfortable on bare feet. Ours had been taped & velcro'd to the bamboo floor, but still turned up a full inch at the corners, causing us to trip repeatedly. They advertised valet parking, ipad check in, a personal staff escort to the room, and a fitness center. On July 9, none of these advertised perks were available. Nor were we given anything for the inconvenience. That was a disappointment. I could go on about the fridge that is prefilled, and not really meant for any of your leftovers. Or about the hole in the ceiling outside of room 504. Or the part of the fifth floor ceiling that looks like someone spray painted some plywood silver and nailed it up there. But I'd rather wonder out loud why a new upscale boutique hotel would get chitzy on the turndown service and give any guest a half of a small muffin. Not one of those big bakery muffins. And not an intact muffin. A small muffin that had clearly been removed from its wrapper, cut in half, and laid cut-side-down on a plate. It somehow felt like an insult.
I get that everyone else is in love with this hotel. Believe me' i was in love with the idea of it until I got there. It was not a horrible place...I just would never pay that kind of price for an unfinished property that knew it could not offer what it had advertised on Groupon.
Oh, and watch the door if you stay in room 504. It does not close unless you force it shut.
