Underwhelming stay. Questionable value.

aggressive staff lounge food
the imperial lounge was not what i expected. the food provided during cocktail hour resembled a lunchable. additionally, the staff seemed overly aggressive when asking for my room number. i usually travel alone and would never audibly share my room number in a public area.

central location fantastic quality good price
The hotel is near Union Square, so the location is very central. I found a good price, and the room quality was fantastic. The surrounding area is acceptable. I felt safe, but I remained aware late at night.

rainfall shower inconvenient location
The room i booked had a small issue, it lacked a proper showerhead. instead, there was only a rainfall shower, and i prefer more focused water pressure for washing my hair. The front desk didn't seem too concerned. the hotel's location ended up being less convenient than i hoped for exploring other parts of the city. i thought it would be more central, but i had to rely on rideshares more than expected.

Adequate Stay

convenient location complimentary water poor eye contact unwelcome feeling
The location is very convenient. They also provided slippers and complimentary water, which I greatly appreciated.
The reception staff seemed rude. I felt unwelcome as a solo traveler. They did not make eye contact and stared at their computer screen when speaking with me, which I did not like.

motion sensing inadequate desk
the motion-sensing hvac system was a real letdown. i found it quite annoying that there was no consistent heating or cooling overnight. the room became uncomfortably stuffy (it really affected my sleep quality). also, the lack of a proper desk in the beautiful king room made working difficult. i had to balance my laptop on the small table and that wasn't ideal.
