Overall, good stay. It's pet-friendly--just no relief area, has a picture-worthy lobby and interesting decor. The hallways and elevators gives Hotel Cecil vibes, but you get over it. Location is downtown, so it's very busy. Would stay again if necessary to experience all the space has to offer (rooftop bar/pool and the tea lounge).
My only disliking was the misinformation given about the tea bar and the initial "upgraded" room we were given. During arrival (about 930pm), I was told by the WM (didn't get his name) working between 9-12am that the tea/beer lounge closes at 2am--there were a group of WW, with drinks, seemingly enjoying themselves as we arrived, so it made sense. Before walking to our room, I asked him again to be sure if it will be open and he said yes, until 2am. When we arrived back down stairs, no more than an hour later, we were told it was closed. Interesting, as this was after our requested room change.
As for the room (500), it's to the right of the elevator and once you open the door, you walk right into the bed. You can also see the bed from the elevator which doesn't seem very comfortable or safe as I didn't notice any cameras in elevators or halls; this was considered an upgrade. Called down to see about a room change and they gave us room 1018. This room was more welcoming and had city views, but even being up that high you can hear full conversations from outside--this didn't bother us as we are used to Downtown living but if you're a light sleeper, may not be the best option.
To end a high note, we found a grassy area near 9th that our pup enjoyed (service dogs only) and came across a cute coffee shop called Installation; try their chai iced tea with a sprinkle of cinnamon. If that's your thing.
