    I did not have any negatives to be honest. I must say I really liked the hotel—maybe because I like the decor and service so much.

    I loved the location, design of the building, service of the staff and the comfort of the room! And the BREAKFAST WAS AMAZING!!

    The light in the bathroom stopped working after the first day, and they did not manage to fix it before I left

    The room and bed were nice and comfortable. Union Market is a nice location with a lot of restaurants and cafés.

    It was quite loud as it's close to a main street and the windows are very thin. Little breakfast options

    The hotel was reasonably priced, not far from a metro station (cc. 7-8 minute walking).

    The room was minimalistic. It was loud during the night (the window did not insulate well from the outside noises).

    The room was very clean and the lobby was very spacious and well decorated.

    The sink is outside the bathroom in the room. There was virtually no storage. The shower curtain was too small to contain the water and our room.flooded after the shower.

    Interior rooms look into other rooms and just make me uncomfortable having the blinds open, so I'm in a small/dark room by myself the entire time. Lack of carpeting or any noise dampening at all make echos from walking, dropping phones, or even another guest clearing their throat echo throughout the building endlessly.

    Cable connection for TV wasn't great. Not that we watched TV much .. just on waking and getting ready for the day. There was a strong smell of weed, which we think was coming into room via ait conditioning. It's the smell we don't like over the smoking of it.

    Very good customer service, manhattan views from room, food good and I liked the industrial chic vibe of the place.

    Car and train noise from the adjacent main street and train line. The hotel has only single glass in the windows and the sound insulation is insufficient. Every car and train that passes by the hotel building can be heard in the room. Fortunately, it is possible to ask for earplugs at the hotel reception, which they will give you for free.

    Nice accommodation with nice people at a reasonable price.

    We stayed on the 3rd floor and our room backed up to a main road and train exchange. It got loud, but not too bad at night. The wifi isn't ideal. Works great in the lobby, but our phones wouldn't stay connected in the room. Lastly for my girlies with curly hair, this is not a hair shower. There is pressure, but not much.

    The place is really cute and exactly as pictured. We were about 7 minute walking distance from a subway station. During the day hours there are restaurants also within walking distance.

    Rooms which are on the New York Avenue side are incredibly loud - relentless traffic noise. Those windows should be insulated to cut down on the noise.

    Very cute boutique hotel, nice front desk staff, comfy beds

    The beds could use another pillow or two & the bathrooms need ventilation fans.

    Very comfortable and stylish lobby/co working area, simple but nice and comfy rooms, welcoming staff who kindly stored our luggage between check out and heading to the train station. Very close to Union Market food hall which has a little bit of everything! Would def stay here again!

    Wished the rooms had AT LEAST a mini ridge. I know there is a microwave at the café area, but it would be more convenient to have one in the rooms as well. The café menu was overpriced while the food was not that good. The entrance was also was difficult to find when trying to check-in and kept being dropped off at the hotel next door when using Uber.

    For the cost compared to the surrounding hotels, it was reasonably priced. The room was small, but comfortable to sleep in for the night. The atmosphere and rooftop bar was a plus!
