Great for a solo traveler

Liked: Cool space and vibe. Had a great cocktail at the bar as well
Disliked: I stayed in the dorm style room and people were a little loud at times, but no complaints regarding the hotel or facilities

Passable

Liked: Convenient location, stylish decor (but alas, impractical in my room — see below)
Disliked: My room was lacking in basic functional amenities that have been present in every other hotel room I've rented in a lifetime of travel: no closet, no armoire, no clothes rack, no hooks, no dresser, no shelves — in short, no place to hang or lay out my clothing. When I raised my concern with the desk staff, they apologized and explained the room was newly redecorated and perhaps wasn't quite finished. They then offered me an "upgrade" to a room with a closet — but only if I paid an additional $25 per night of my stay!In addition, no useful mirror — only a decorative one where the base was more than six feet above the floor. Lastly, the room overlooked a back patio where music was blaring until 11:00 p.m. every night — and the room windows were not double-pane to reduce the noise.

Nice little hotel, would stay...

Liked: Beautifully decorated downstairs lobby & bar, great place to work from during the day. Staff was friendly, room was basic but clean and well-equipped. Easy transit access — bus and streetcar stops on the same corner — and lots of food/drink options nearby.
Disliked: A/C unit in the room was a bit noisy.

A great alternative to a...

Liked: Breakfast? Didn't hear much about that but did get it at the conference I attended. Really liked the main level space and bar. More food options on the menu would have been nice. Was excited about the rooftop but disappointed in it's offering. Really enjoyed the sauna.

cool vibe

Liked: great location, amazing vibe on the ground level, small, but very cute clean room, spacey bathroom with huge shower, we were able to find parking on the street. I loved the lounge room on our level.

Liked: Beautiful lobby and the appearance was like a living room. The only problem we had was noisy night time noise ( people yelling in the middle of the night n the street)
Disliked: See above

Comfy king bed, historic building,...

Liked: The hotel is pretty cool, it's a historic building, I think, that has been refurbished. It has a 'Pacific Northwest' vibe, The Pacific Standard restaurant/bar in the lobby area is a huge win for this spot, otherwise, I'm not sure I'd recommend as highly. I had the large king premium room, and the bed was super duper comfy - very important! I slept like a baby. The rooms and the bathroom are a bit dark, which I normally like, but for putting on makeup, I had to use the window facing the street. It's a somewhat gritty area, but lots of bars and restaurants in the area - nearby my favorite spa 'Knot Springs.' I would not recommend walking alone at night in this neighborhood, but perfectly fine in the daytime or if you plan to Uber. No parking onsite - I parked in a nearby garage - I would not use street parking. Someone was bashing in a car window one day while I was there - it's not a safe neighborhood to leave your car. There is no bell service, you pretty much have to unload/load your own vehicle. Staff was ok - not super helpful, but got the job done, I guess.
Disliked: The person on staff seemed pretty unfamiliar with parking options around the area - pretty important when you are driving into town, especially that part of town. Maybe more education for the staff on that point. It is DIY on luggage - no offers to assist with heavy luggage. The rooms and the hallways are very dark. If you have poor eyesight or just need a brighter room for a bit, it's not ideal.
