amazing location, beautiful details, and awesome amenities (free bikes, free yoga mats, good cafe)
it was right in the thick of state street - which was awesome until we wanted to go to sleep. it was insanely loud until bars closed at 2am. the windows didn’t do much to cancel out sound and walls were pretty thin.

Very clean. No reception. You just text Eve and they will attend to what you need. Room very very small 129sq feet. We barely could move with my boyfriend. But very clean.
Very very small. No reception but you can text Eve and they will attend to your need. Parking bad paid 37$ for 28 hours of parking

Good location, upscale vibe, not having a front desk wasn't an issue at all, nice to be connected to a bar, comfortable bed.
Parking was confusing, lighting in room wasn't great for applying make-up.

The rooms were comfortable (small) but immaculately clean and well designed. The no service style hotel was great. The products in the rooms were exquisite.

Slick modern design. I like use of concrete and wood.
The window in our room was small, but that’s more to do with the design of the original building, not a big deal.
