This was a beautiful hotel with a wonderful restaurant, clean and spacious room, and great lobby. I do wish there was a mini-fridge in the room. The staff was very prompt to bring us a fridge and microwave when we asked, but would have been great to have one in there. I also found the shampoo situation difficult. With the bottles attached to the wall, it was nearly impossible to tell when you were low/out of supply until you actually were. I was there 7 nights and ran out of shampoo and body wash. I was caught both times mid-shower when it ran out. I had to get out, call housekeeping, wait for it to come (which was prompt) and then get back in the shower to finish up. If

Great stay here, was moved from another Expedia property that wasn't in good condition and this was the complete opposite. Kind, attentive staff. Unique concept and cool art. The view was lovely and the shower was great!

Great hotel and even better staff. Two minor drawbacks, no mini fridge and no ice on the floor. No big deal at all, just a few minor inconveniences. The staff was excellent and everyone was super helpful.
