Breakfasts were quite good. The terrace was a nice place for a drink.

The room was not up to par. Things were broken and the blinds were not working correctly. I rang reception twice, and the receptionist could not have been less helpful.

valet parking art installation slippery floor ill-designed shower

The location was really good. The valet parking made driving there EASY. I just pulled up at the back. The art installations including the AMAZING clock were nice.

The shower area seemed unsafe. It had a slippery wood floor. There was no place to put shampoo, body wash, or conditioner. It was an ill-designed shower.

Superb Stay Near Guggenheim

rooftop terrace valet parking

I enjoyed the rooftop terrace access. The views of the Guggenheim were fine! The breakfast buffet had a good variety. Valet parking was efficient and priced reasonably. This made arrival simple. I appreciated the central location because it was very convenient.

The shower lacked a proper place to set shampoo, body wash, and conditioner! The design seemed focused on aesthetics rather than practicality. A rubber mat helped, but better shelving would greatly improve the showering experience. This small change would greatly improve functionality.

The breakfast buffet offered many choices. I appreciated the attentive service. The rooftop terrace provided fine views during meals. I found it to be a very pleasant dining experience.

adequately rated stay

adequate space clean bathroom easy access poor air conditioning limited breakfast slow elevator

my room was a superior double or twin room city view. it provided adequate space for one person. the bathroom was clean and modern. i also had easy access to nearby attractions.

the air conditioning did not work well. it struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature. also, the breakfast had limited options, i think. finally, the elevator was very slow, often making me late.
