Stay Report - 8/14 to 8/15
Location: The hotel is located just north of the Power and Light District on 11th and Grand. It's a good neighborhood though if you go a little bit to the east it starts to get sketchy. On weekends the neighborhood directly around the hotel is quiet but the nightlife spots are pretty close. It's near to I-670, I-35 and I-70 as well so getting around the area is easy.
Hotel: The hotel is a lovingly preserved old building that drips luxury. I'll get the negative out of the way: the parking situation is not great. They have a tiny shared lot with maybe 30 spaces and it's $25 a day. Parking at night is hard to find. But other than that I loved the hotel. There's a gorgeous lobby with sitting areas and a good restaurant which does breakfast, dinner and live music at nights. They also had free coffee out in the morning.
Check In: Done very well by a friendly agent who acknowledged my status, asked if I wanted welcome points or a $10 F&B as a Titanium and offered breakfast or more points. Service from everyone was helpful and friendly.
Room: I had booked a room with two beds and I was surprised by how big it was. The beds were both kings which is really rare and there was lots of space in general. There was a desk, TV, huge bathroom with stand up shower and two sinks, sitting area, closet with robes in it as well as a really nice welcome gift. My only complaint is that outlets are in short supply.
Dining: The Titanium Breakfast here is a coupon for continental breakfast. The weekend meal is brunch and we were given a $12 credit. Most entrees are in the $13-15 range. Food was really high quality and service great.
Overall an excellent hotel. I had a great stay here and would happily be back.
