Unique Hotel Experience
Overall the hotel was really cool. I didn’t look anything up about it, but it is very pro-feminine with the artwork and decor. The rooms were very aesthetically pleasing. Valet was overpriced. My biggest issue was that on my second night, my room wasn’t cleaned. I was gone all day until 4pm and had indicated via the door tag that I needed tidying, but when I got back they hadn’t gotten to my room yet. That was super suboptimal. Otherwise, solid property. I would probably stay here again.

I stayed here as a "staycation" during 4th of July holiday. Room was cozy. The overall theme of the hotel is cute, I'm all about women's empowerment. Hotel pool was small and crowded so i wouldn't stay here if you are looking for a luxury pool experience.

The decorative throw blankets that lay across the bed are a nice touch but dirty. There were obvious stains on ours that were a bit appalling to see. The showers have a unique design but generally not convenient to use. Not my favorite room/room setup ive stayed at but hotel does have positives. Very unimpressed with the food from the rooftop bar but the view was amazing! The complimentary store where you can checkout items is convenient and useful! The hotel also offers activities and spaces that make it easy to have a good time. The art and history around the hotel gives the guest something to enjoy in downtime.
