Great stay with luggage solution We stayed for 3 nights and it was nothing but a great experience. The hotel is great proximity to downtown. The room was fantastic with great aesthetics. The Dovetail bar downstairs has some great drinks, but no food. Our flight landed early and we weren’t able to do an early check-in so we were concerned where to store our luggage until our standard check in as there is no where at the actual hotel to. A lady with Sonder recommended a business that allows (paid, but cheaper than early check in fee) luggage storage a block away from the hotel. This was the perfect solution with minimal inconvenience. The actual hotel was very clean and nice with the perfect modern touch. The beds and linens were very comfortable and the unit was stocked with the necessities needed. There was also an essentials cabinet in the hallway to grab anything else extra you may need like laundry detergent or extra toilet paper etc. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 for a few inconveniences that I just want others to be aware of, but it wouldn’t be a deterrent from staying here again or recommending to others. -Out of our group of 4, none of us could get the heaters/air conditioners to work. We all attempted to adjust the thermostats to no avail. None of the heat pumps we could get to respond. -The floor does slope, but it’s to be expected with an old building. -The dryer doesn’t have a drain so the evaporated water that accumulates during drying you have to frequently empt
