    Rooms were on separate floors (when asked to be near) and questionable art work (hypodermic needle chandelier over tables ?) In all fairness, I am not up to date on "cool" art so....

    Excellent breakfast. Quirky fun hotel with a great location. Staff were friendly and the rooms were comfortable

    Value for the room. Seems like all the hotel rooms were charging high prices for the area. Older windows from historic building allows lots of sound in. It was a hotel room and while clean, I usually get more value. The hotel is nothing special or really different from other chains.

    The place was clean and nice.

    The building feels old and really needs a refresh, Especially the elevator areas. Our room could have used a redo for sure. Remove the tub and put in a nice walk in shower. 21c also needs to move out a couple pieces of art and create a comfortable "Lounge" area to just sit and chill in the morning. The whole vibe of walking into the hotel is old and cold.

    The location is Great. Its the #1 reason we book this hotel. That and dog friendly. The staff is always great also. No complaints there.

    I loved my stay at 21c. The room is pretty average but the bathroom and shower were very nice. My favorite part of the hotel was the restaurant and bar. Staff were extremely kind and accommodating, making me feel like a valued guest every time I sat down. The food and drinks were top notch and felt luxe. Great location as well, very close to the conference center. I enjoyed my stay here.

    A couple minor things - the mattress was comfy but the bedding was a mess - it was two loose sheets with a thin blanket inside which just came apart and we fought with it during the night. I also would have like an extra bath towel or two.

    The location was great and the room was clean. The museum was amazing and the nightly bourbon tasting to enjoy with it added to the experience.

    One narrow elevator in operation when we were there - and that was shared with staff. Hot water availability was spotty. In a good part of downtown, the hotel is still difficult to access ( no on site parking). An additional note - on December 15, 2022 we requested a lower floor room, a request that was acknowledged by the hotel the following day. When we arrive we are offered a room on the seventh floor with no lower option.

    Lockbox restaurant was very pleasant - staff and breakfast choices. Attractive hotel decor. Large comfortable room.

    The room was set up weird. It had a mix of old and new furniture, the set up of the room left a lot of room unused. We did not like the unusual dark colors and the rug colors.

    I loved the staff, the service, and the bar and restaurant were great and we loved the bartender and the food - I loved the bathroom, the robes, the refrigerator that they brought up
