Great concept turning the local YMCA into the newest Ace Hotel. Keeping the gym feel was a cool touch as well. It's a mix of hipster hideaway meets after school program.
The bar is great. Friendly staff and good drinks. The fourth River mule is definitely worth trying.
The lobby was jam packed with people. Lots of seating options for people to kind of just hang- which makes sense since first and foremost it's a hotel.
With all the hustle and bustle of the lobby, I don't think I could ever stay at the this Ace. I don't think I would ever feel at peace with all of the noise, but maybe that's why people go there? Maybe I'm too old? Or maybe I should just take an Ambien before I go to bed. Either way, it's a cool place to check out at night.
