This hotel was awesome. It's clean and modern. The girl at the front desk was so nice. Also, the vibe was cool as soon as I walked in, from the bar area to the room (in which one of the walls was a full black and white mural). Definitely would stay again!

VIP access included valet, which didn't work properly and I ended up paying for valet and requesting a refund (twice) which I finally received. Restaurant was excellent, and we enjoyed hanging out in the lobby with friends.

Great vibe: unique biker-industrial atmosphere was fun so well done they it made it enjoyable to stay there. Great bar and casual, comfortable lounging area…so many options! The breakfast and lunch options are the big disappointment- not great choices and way overpriced for what you get. We didn’t try the formal dining restaurant but it looks great…
