The Revolution Hotel
Location, lobby and staff were all wonderful but the rooms left a bit to be desired. Very small space which, we do understand in metro areas. The shower however, was wild. I get the industrial vibe but it was giving straight gym/dorm shower. Coffee in lobby was a nice convenience.
