RISE Uptown

Paradise Found

Liked: Everything was great, from the check in to the rooftop bar to breakfast from Cartel Coffee to a long afternoon in the pool. My room was clean, comfortable, and quiet Everything was visually appealing. If I had been traveling with a group, games in the courtyard would have been a huge attraction. Every staff member was lovely, and the popsicles were a highlight.
Disliked: I arrived at quarter till 10, and there was no supper available. However, I know that I could have found something close by, if I was really hungry.

Very good

Cute! Has it all

Liked: Loved how cutie this place was. Having a roof top bar, pool bar, coffee bar, and cafe all within proximity was great!
Disliked: The hallways smelled like cigarette smoke was packed into the wall. The second you got into the hotel room things were fine.

Unfair Pool Access: Prioritization for...

Liked: It’s a unique and eclectic property with trendy decor.
Disliked: The pool situation definitely needs to be reevaluated. Day pass holders are given priority, and nearly all of the lounge chairs nearest the pool were marked as “Reserved” for them. All but two of the day beds were also set aside. And this was as early as 10 a.m. Fortunately, we arrived early enough to get a day bed. Other hotel guests who showed up early seemed caught off guard and ended up sitting at the dining tables instead. For this reason, we decided not to extend our stay.

Overall, it is a fun...

Liked: The hotel rooms and pool are beautiful.
Disliked: They do not provide morning coffee of any sort although there is a coffee place you can walk to. The complementary popsicle is a nice touch. If you want a lounge chair at the pool, you need to reserve one. At check-in, I was offered a complementary drink and social hour from 4 to 6 at their rooftop bar, however when I showed up, I was told it was closed for a private party. Seems like these are things the staff should know and communicate.
