The location is great, especially if you need to be downtown for a conference. The room is quirky and kind of fun with some inconveniences (the shower is barely warm, and they compensate with a space heater in the ceiling that cooks your hair if you're as tall as I am). It's noisy outside which is to be expected, given the neighborhood and not the hotel's fault (there were 45 minutes of uninterrupted, psychotic honking out front one night, just in case you're not down for that possibility). The really bad thing, though, was the terrible sound insulation. As far as I can tell, any conversations in the lobby (or maybe in the open area on the second floor) are amplified directly into the lofted area where the bed is located. It sounds like people are talking directly into your ear. One morning there was a terrible whirling or grinding noise coming from the roof directly above the loft. I called the front desk, and someone from the cleaning staff answered and said the people who could look into that wouldn't be in until 9 AM, which meant a lot more impossibly loud noise. All in all, it's a noisy place that led to me not getting a lot of sleep.
