Our hotel was built in 1929, so although the building itself is old, it comes with lots of character. We're sorry the construction taking place in the neighborhood, we do our best to minimize sound levels within our means, but this is beyond our control.

The hotel was very vintage, and very artistic. I loved that part of the hotel. The bathroom was minuscule, and it was a very noisy place to try and get some rest. There was this god-awful sound when you took a shower too, sometimes, like grinding gears. There were people walking around near my door a lot too, and you could clearly hear conversations through it. Not the best for privacy, either. The rooftop bar was nice, but very expensive. It was very crowded when we went up there, but the view was fantastic. Can't say enough nice things about the people who worked at the door who were really the best part of the staff. They were so helpful and friendly, and it really made me feel welcome.

Thank you so much for reaching out. We do apologize for the crowds you encountered upstairs on the rooftop but we're happy it was well worth it for the view. As far as the front desk staff and Bell team, it means a lot knowing they always made you feel at home. We hope to welcome you back soon!
