Redo your lighting. The rooms are basically dark; you can't read a book. The Retro look doesn't compensate for the blackout.

Not My Favorite Spot
Although the property offers valet parking, it is pricey. The self-parking options nearby were not much cheaper. The entrance was tucked around the side of the hotel, and the reception desk was tucked away even further. The room was comfortable enough. We were disappointed to see so much promotion regarding the rooftop bar, but when we tried to visit, most of the space was closed for a private event. Only a very small corner was available to guests, and there were no seats available. We ended up leaving without ever getting a drink.

nice place but needs better remodeling ideas
it's a very nice place. an old hotel that has been revamped. unf, they missed a few things.
the lights are super dim and you have to turn each one one at the lamp ~ no light switches. i had to crawl behind a table to find the switch for the big overhead one.
the couch is cool looking but not at all functional.
but worst is the shower ~ there's no door! the water literally goes all over the bathroom floor and into the carpeted hallway. stupid design

2/3 front desk were AMAZINGLY helpful and kind. Exceptional, truly. However, the 1 that wasn’t should find another gig. Not hotels fault, maybe the one that was rude and disrespectful was having a bad day, but we had lost power, had major damage to our home, were displaced and didn’t need the rudeness, frankly. We had our 2 dogs with us the second night and they even provided dog beds!

Meh
The hotel itself is very unique; great ambiance. I was incredibly disappointed that the valet attendant left a SMOKE smell in my new car! Also, I called the front desk half a dozen times for a roll of toilet paper and no one ever answered. I finally went downstairs to find the front desk employee hanging out. After our room was cleaned the bathroom trash was left in the middle of the walkway with the toilet seat flipped up.

Loved it!
In a great part of town in NuLu. Coffee shops, BBQ, breweries and great unique shops all within walking distance. Easy parking on side streets or valet. Gotta try the warm olives in the rooftop bar at the hotel. Addicting….got to go to Muths to get the special candy. Hotel is uniquely decorated and has a great vibe. Staff was friendly.
