| - Ahhhhhhh, Artisan Boutique Hotel........ How Excited I was to be able to book a room there this past Saturday. How pretty the pictures were. Topless pool. Ultralounge! The list goes on.
What we actually got:
1. Nice Valet guy.
2. Nice registration clerk, smiley and helpful.
3. Only 1 elevator.
4. Extremely dark lobby and hallway to the point of being spooky.
5. Very small but cute room. To note that every room features different artists, mine was Roy Lichtenstein room 325.
6. Everything was clean but the bathroom was missing essentials e.g. soap, shampoo, lotion. No biggy, I brought my own. What I did not bring was the blowdryer for my hair. Neither the bathroom had it. So airdry it is.
7. Free porn. Hmmmmmm, what kind of hotel is this? Looks classy but now I'm thinking a Brothel.
8. After dropping our bags we are heading to the famous lounge and see the pool area. When we got to the elevator 2 people that wearing the Hotels uniform are standing there waiting. They do not greet us. Ok. No biggy. We assume, big mistake, that they are heading down. They dont ask us where we are going, they just kind of blocked our view of the call buttons. When the elevator finally after full 5 minutes gets there it is apparentely going UP! Oops. Inside there was another guy that works there, tall, blond, wearing glasses, sorry I dont have the name, invites us in to ride up with him instead of just waiting again. Very nice guy. We go in and take the ride. On the way back down of course we stop at our original 3rd floor and those two people still there but talking to someone and dont let go of the elevator, just holding it up basically. We are still OK but getting kind of irritated.
9. The lounge is very very nice. Beautiful art everywhere including the ceiling. Lots to see. The bartender was friendly and fast. Drinks decently priced
10. A girl wearing a bathing suit walked in to the bar. It looked ridiculous! How is anyone allowed inside being almost naked and dripping water? Fail!
11. We went back to our room to get ready to go out. I was naked when I heard someone just outside the door, then that someone put the cardkey in, I'm thinking Wrong room, the door wont open, they will realize it and it will be over. Big mistake! The door was actually unlocked and started to open when I screamed to stop. I grabbed the towel and looked out just to find a girl that works there( just to say that it was one of the people by the elevator earlier) just walking away. I asked her if she needed anything, her reply was, verbatim,"I got the wrong room". WTF? How about knocking?
12. We left for the evening. Came back around 5am and saw extremely drunk girl standing up on all fours and throwing up in the bushes. Really? Boutique Hotel? The lobby is packed with people, loud music, party is going on full blast! Very cute doorman.
We actually had no problem falling asleep with all the commotion going outside. In the morning we checked out and decided that we will NEVER come back here again.
If the management is reading this review please remind your staff to knock before opening any doors and be just a little bit more friendlier. 3 stars only for the interior as for the rest is a major FAIL!
