This facility claims to be a 5-star hotel, but I'm not sure what the basis is for that claim. It's a strange kind of BandB without a restaurant. The include breakfast is awful - literally stuff from Costco. They have a couple very helpful staff members around but the whole place seems kind of deserted. Location is not far from everything, but not close to anything. Isn't as well staged as the photos suggest. Furniture was nice but getting a bit worn, nice toiletries and towels, no turndown service. You only get housekeeping if you ask for it. We had an issue with our room, and an offer was made to move us. Finally, not sure why but we paid Expedia $200 more than the hotel's receipt shows we paid - guess Expedia is marking this up, not down.

Very beautiful and unique hotel, but most notable was the very friendly staff especially Amanda, she made sure we had everything we needed at all times, showed us where everything was and made sure to ask if we needed anything every time she saw us in the lobby. I cannot thank Amanda enough for making our stay comfortable and memorable. The Hotel was everything we had hoped for. I would definitely stay there again.

Friendly staff. Beautiful art. Great location.
We stayed in this hotel for one night. This was our second time because we liked a lot our first stay. I would highlight 3 things about this hotel: 1) Friendly and helpful staff (Amanda and others). They went above and beyond to make us happy from making coffee, carrying luggages, opening parking doors, and most importantly having a pleasant conversation. 2) Beautiful art throughout the building. 3) Great location, walking distance to Japan Town and Fillmore shops and restaurants.
