Бързо резюме: A tale of two hotels: a stunning historic bank base topped by a skinny skyscraper where the elevators struggle to keep up.
Преглеждано от @Samaraa.b_: I took a much-needed solo staycation here to recover from burnout and it was perfect. My room had incredible city views and a kitchenette. I loved exploring the historic vaults and hitting the sauna without ever leaving the building. The ultimate cozy reset!

Reality check
The 'Historic' rooms feel grand but dark, while the 'Tower' rooms offer killer views but can feel cramped and rely on those slow elevators.
- You need to be connected to the Financial District or PATH underground network
- You appreciate having a fridge, microwave, and dishwasher in your room
- You are a history buff who loves Beaux-Arts architecture and bank vaults
Чистота и поддръжка
8.8
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some long-term dust reported on high ledges.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean and functional, but grout lines in older historic suites can show age.
- Maintenance: Tower elevators are the main maintenance pain point; room fixtures are sturdy but dated.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, crisp and clean but not luxury plush.
- Odors & scents: Neutral scent; no heavy perfumes, but occasional hallway food smells from residents cooking.

Преди да резервирате
Добре е да знаете
- The hotel has a 'Tranquility Agreement' that strictly enforces quiet hours after 10 PM.
- Valet parking is at the Melinda Street entrance, not the main King Street doors.
- Housekeeping is daily, but it's a condo-hotel, so don't expect evening turndown service.

- Grocery basics (coffee, snacks) to make use of the kitchenette
- Slippers (carpets in some rooms are showing their age)

The historic bank vault in the basement is often open—go down and take a photo inside the massive door.
5 неща, които трябва да знаете преди да отидете
💡The 'Historic' section elevators are separate from the 'Tower' elevators—make sure you go to the right bank.
💡Some 'kitchenettes' lack actual cooking elements (stove/oven), just reheating tools.
💡The 'Tranquility Agreement' isn't a suggestion; security will knock if you're loud after 10 PM.
💡The windows in the 'Sliver' tower rooms are often quite dirty on the outside due to the building's height and cleaning difficulty.
💡You are sharing the building with actual residents, so the vibe in the elevator is often 'coming home from work' rather than 'vacation mode'.
