Consistency. At least it was consistent. I always try and say something positive about a place. I had to think for some time on this one: Parking - You have to park 2 blocks and the parking garage does not have a convenient elevator (if it had any). The Belllman - Not very helpful, nor friendly. The Front desk - Not at all friendly or inviting. The room - I adjusted the thermostat to 72 and it finally got down to 74 (from 77 for most of the night) at 3 am. The food - I couldn't tell you. It has 2 places to eat (ground floor and roof). The bellman did not even know they had a restaurant on the roof (and I had to ask him since nobody was at the front desk). I looked at both menus and to say it was limited is being generous. So the moment you have been waiting for, the positive thing. The best thing I can say about the place is that it is near The Yonder and The Daily. Very good coffeeshop and bar. Skip the food (meh) and have a coffee and a beer. Do yourself a favor and stay at the (very) nearby, 21C Hotel. MUCH friendlier, nicer and about the same price.
