My room had a great balcony and the view. But there were not shelves or drawers to put my things in. Also there was a smell. I moved out two days earlier and they did not refund me.

The location was very convenient but my overall experience was very average if not below average. Staff were not very helpful or knowledgeable when it came to checking information and having your booking through a third party like Expedia.

Best hotel in the Gas Lamp district!
Everyone there was so accommodating and friendly. The property is located in a centralized location in the Gas Lamp district, so it’s very easy to walk to many of the popular restaurants. We went out for dinner but we ate breakfast at the restaurant there and it’s absolutely delicious. The highlight of the weekend was that we were lucky enough to catch the last summer party at the pool which was a lot of fun. The only unfortunate issue was during our last day, there was a plumbing problem and the water was shut off at the hotel. That was an unexpected inconvenience but the hotel gave us a parking comp for our entire stay there as a courtesy gift

Chic urban getaway
This hotel is awesome. The location is fantastic. The room was a little small but comfortable, clean and rad decor. While parking is valet only, they make it super easy in a bustling area where parking can be difficult. I would absolutely love to staycation here again!

We love coming here for our staycations. We always get a very nice, clean room with beautiful views. The staff are always pleasant and friendly. The food is very good; although, we wish there were a few more “normal” options for dinner. We sleep so well here. Close to so many different dining experiences and shopping.

6/10 Good

Love Kimpton, but this property falls short.
Pros: excellent customer service, location, comfy bed, could open the windows, hygiene products full size, and cleanliness. Negative: Incredibly small room, lack of privacy for bathroom (shower glass is half, slider bathroom door doesn’t close all the way), no fan in the bathroom, ac didn’t work properly making it stuffy (thankfully we could open the windows), $60 a night valet (expensive and inconvenient). Overall our stay was fine but due to the negatives I’d have to give it a 6/10
