text: This is  a frustrating hotel, because so much of it is \"almost, but not quite.\"\n\nThe renovation is reasonably stylish... but the rooms are badly laid out, with no power anywhere near the desk.\n\nThe bathrooms are cool-looking... but there's no place to hang a wash cloth in the shower, and the tiny little shower caddy can't hold travel-sized bottles of toiletries, including the ones they supply.\n\nThe Wifi is fast and reliable... and expensive.\n\nThe restaurant is pretty good... and unofficially closes for a private party for the bartender's friends at 9:30, when it is supposed to be open until 10.\n\nThe north tower has four fast elevators... two of which are out of service.\n\nIt's about a six block walk to anything in Uptown from here... but, hey, exercise!\n\nThe staff is helpful and friendly... to a point, but that point comes when you ask for anything that is even slightly outside of standard, and you are met with a varying degree of blank to cold stare.\n\nIt feels like they want to be a San Francisco boutique hotel (complete with attitude), but they just don't have the budget or chops to do so. If you are paying a convention or discounted rate (I was paying $99/night), it's not terrible value for money. More than that, though, and you have better options.
