Wonderful staff. Great location. The only disappointing thing was the pool area. It looks great in the pictures but it's a pretty small space, and the pool was too cold to go in, despite there being a heatwave. I think because the area doesn't get sun because of the tall buildings, the water needs to be heated.

We had a such a good experience with all the staff we interacted with. They have a great breakfast, and the breakfast staff remembered our drink orders after the first day. Bartenders were friendly and the drink menu was fun. Front desk staff always welcomed us back. We loved the location, it was quiet but close enough to walk to Little Italy.
