Parking was incredibly expensive- you paid for the convenience. Rooftop bar was unique. The room left more for the imagination but was decent enough. Front desk team was mostly friendly- one encounter was less than satisfactory when asking for a water "after hours." She was there the next morning and had the same "over it" attitude.

Property and front desk was great. Rooms are a little cramped but okay for price. Requesting additional amenities to be delivered to the room took a long time.

Midweek stay @ The Motto

Friendly staff and a good location. Would've liked a coffee maker in the room. People sleeping on the sidewalk nearby was a deterrent.
