| - I was really impressed with this hotel. I wasn't sure I'd be happy here because it has been described as being small and 'boutique' which can be code for other things, but it was great. I stayed in the Hip room, which had an extremely comfy bed, a ton of storage, a kitchenette (complete with cutlery, dishes, a sink, coffee/tea maker, empty mini fridge and microwave), a small table with two chairs, lots of lighting via lamps, and a very clean bathroom with a shower. The toiletries are from Philosophy which was a nice a surprise because their products are really gentle on most skin types, and even though I hadn't finished all of mine each day, my products were restocked daily as if everyday was my first. Also there is free, fast wifi in each room.
I didn't give this hotel 5 stars for a few reasons, but I'd still recommend staying here if you can over look some things:
- the first round of room service is very early (9am)! I'm sorry but when I'm on vaca.....I find it hard to appreciate the sound of vacuums and door knocking that early. Be sure to put out your do not disturb sign if you're not up for the morning round. A second round will come back a few hours later.
- no soundproof windows. Thankfully I was tired enough each night to fall asleep, but at times it was a challenge trying to sleep after 12:30pm because the street noise pours into the room....and I was on the 8th floor. The neighbourhood is live...what can I say.
- no in-hotel room service. Their website should remove the pics they have of a tray of food resting on a bed because unless you prep that stuff yourself, its not gonna happen. On the plus side, the hotel resto (ptghotel1) is attached to the building and guests get free continental breakfast each morning when you visit.
