Had a stay here recently - a few thoughts

its noted in the earlier reviews and reports, but I can't emphasize it enough - the rooms are tiny. We had a room with two double/full size beds, having two adults walk around the room simultaneously is near impossible. No cribs are available, but even if they offered a crib there would be no way one could fit in the room alongside the beds
like a lot of new properties, they seem to be embracing the no/open closet concept. The problem is the placement & size of the luggage shelf/ledge makes it impossible to open the room door if a bag is on the shelf.
there's no fridge, only a small "cool box" so be aware if you need to keep something actually cold (like medicine or infant milk)
no public ice machines, you have to request ice from the front desk (yet there are in-room ice buckets provided...)
no bath robes due to COVID
there are extra outlets "macgyvered" onto the side of the desk and nightstand
as mentioned, they're only offering 500 pts to Globalists for breakfast...if you press them for breakfast suggestions, they may offer up a voucher for a free coffee to "For Five" located 2 blocks away. A bit odd as there's a coffee shop right across the street, and the voucher was actually just a loyalty punch card.
