The location is ideal. One of the best in the city. However the decor is a bit dated and the beds not comfortable. Reception area seems a bit dark and gloomy not bright and welcoming. But location is top notch and for that reason we will most likely be staying here again but I wish they upgrade the beds

Initially we had done problems. Water temperature in room was terrible. Some staff in bar not friendly/helpful. However - when speaking to concierge he immediately rectified the issues. Changed our room and treated us well. His customer service made a big difference. French waitress at Hippo restaurant was a delight. Overall very good and will stay again.

Great little boutique hotel with a wonderful location directly across the street from the Museum and the marina and about a 15 minute walk to the cable car. Wonderful art throughout the entire hotel and beautifully curated. The hippopotamus restaurant is great with a great view. Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Really liked the art deco vibe of the hotel. The room and bed was very comfortable, and the indoor hot tub was a welcomed retreat after a long travel day. Breakfast was fine but the only downside was parking — only valet available and it took a long time to get our car, even when giving notice. Otherwise a good stay and convenient location.
