awesome location and great amenities!
great location high ceilings large rooms
I loved that the hotel is located right in chinatown. It's super convenient! it's also a short walk to the light rail on george street. This made getting around so easy. the building itself is iconic, it had really high ceilings and impressively large rooms. It felt luxurious!
The noise was a bit of a bummer. I could hear sounds from the adjacent room and the street. i wish i had known the housekeeping schedule. I would have planned my day better.
