| - Faux San Franciscan-like...
It's as if we found the one hotel in NC that is just like a SF transplant. I loved how contemporary and modern this place was, compared to the old fashion places we were seeing in NC.
My room was nice, cool and swanky decor. However, I had the room right next to the two elevators. There was an endless humming noise, not a good white noise, but an annoying humming of an 20,000lb elevator being used 24hrs/day right next to your room...kind of annoying! It was more work to ask to switch rooms than to just deal with it, we were here less than 6 hours total (sleeping included)!
The foyer was a nice touch. Lounging couches, a pool table, a little to-go market (tons of Red Bull for purchase), and a small business center. It was a decent walk from the main downtown area, but the surrounding area seemed well lit and not too seedy - so we felt comfortable walking late at night.
The staff was very helpful and nice, even with about a 20 person line; their customer service was of Nordstrom/Disney proportions.
The only other issue I have with this place is its shower. They tried to get too boughie and it went all wrong for them. So to start, I was enamored with the sunflower shower head. I was also wondering why there was only half of a glass door for the shower, no sliding door, no opening door, just half a piece of glass, that leaves the other half of the shower exposed. As I went to do the shower thing, the water pressure was HORRIBLE. Long hair does care, because it takes forever when the water pressure is horrible. Not to mention with the other missing half of the glass, water was everywhere, all over the bathroom floor. Not a good situation at all.
Work sponsored stay...so I can't really complain...
