Nice hotel for partying, not for sleeping
Very nice hotel but make sure your room doesn't face the courtyard. The rooms are not soundproof, the music is loud and doesn't quiet down until after midnight.

8/10 Very good

It’s a very loud hotel. Not ideal for quiet (lots of random booms and bangs in the middle of the night- no idea if it was maintenance or elevators or what). But it’s cute and close to everything on So Congress. Valet team was amazing.
