    I was really excited to stay here because I loved my stay at the AC Hotel in Seattle. This location has easy access to highways and nearby shop, seems safe, and the staff (especially the valet team!) were nice and friendly. They have a mini fridge that comes with 2 water bottles daily and a safety deposit box (although the one in my first room didn't work) in each room. I loved the modern, more minimal look of the rooms, the water pressure was great, and I enjoyed using the gym (even though half the machines were out of service). There were minor issues with cleanliness and being charged for valet parking instead of self-parking, a bigger issue with noise level and trying to change to a different room, and what would've been a 3.5 star review even after all the mishaps resulted in a downgrade because of empty words by management after they reached out to me a week after my stay... which leaves a really poor impression of the brand. The first room I had did not have any conditioner in the shower and was not refilled after housekeeping cleaned the room. It also came with an obviously previously used lotion bottle. There was dust and pieces of dried rice on the floor (which were not from me) when I arrived. The room was next to the elevator, gym, and what was probably the supplies room for housekeeping, and it was pretty noisy. After 2 nights, I stopped at the front desk, and the lady at the front desk worked on it for 20 min, left a note in my file, and told me to check back in the afternoon. No notes were found when I stopped by later, and they had to redo the whole process. I was told the replacement room was exactly the same other than a light for the hearing impaired. But I found out on arrival that it was also a mobility disability room-- meaning the room was not the same-- no glass shower, no futon. I was disappointed to be placed into this room after being reassured that the room would be the same. But the room was cleaner and quieter since it was down the hallway. For being on a relaxing vacation, I was a little annoyed about my sleep on this trip and the room issues. The invoice emailed to me on the day of checkout also noted charges for valet which I did not use. They were able to fix the charges after looking into the records for validated parking. I felt like I had to put in quite a bit of effort for staying at this hotel when it should be effortless and actually enjoyable. I filled out the feedback form they emailed to me a week after my stay, and management reached out afterwards to apologize via email and said reward points would be added to my account... and it never appeared. I emailed him back asking him about it and never received a reply. I guess this is how they train their management to try and appease guests, words of reassurance (the front desk had also said they would credit some points for the hassle but that never happened either). That fired me up and motivated me to actually write a poor review (which I'm not super fond of doing). I for sure won't be staying here again, but I may suggest it to friends who are heavy sleepers since the hotel has a nice and convenient location next to the airport. It was also pretty busy with business travelers, so it might be good for anyone looking to network.

    AC hotel rooms are pretty standard: all the rooms looks alike. So you always know what the room will look like from one property to the next. Hotel rooms are very minimalist. The differences that you will experience is the hospitality at the hotel,lobby, restaurant and perhaps the gym area. We appreciate the lack of carpet from a cleanliness standpoint. This hotel is all about location, location and location. Centrally located to businesses, high end restaurants and more. Located in the heart of AC. Despite the location, this hotel had some major misses, below are some of the issues: Issues: 1. Low water pressure 2. Rooms not sound proof 3. Pool area dirty: staff did not pick up and replace towels 4. Bad water in sinks: not drinkable 5. Air conditioner sounds like a plan preparing for lift off: super loud 6. Also lack of Greek products in shower

    Good selection of nut bars, alcohol, food, &  necessities.

    The pros- -Aestetics are minimal, dark soothing color pallete of espresso and taupe. The only white in there is the sheets and towels. It looks more of a singles pad vs a hotel room. -The AC is super cold and refreshing. -I love how freely I can get extra soaps. -The added touch of little fillable sachets and dried lavender offered was really a sweet thoughtful touch to guests. -The shower is exceptionally white and clean. I love that. I actually allowed myself to shower barefoot. I normally don't in hotels. I wear my rubber slippers. -The breakfast buffet food omlettes and other items were fancy and yummy. -Cons -The breakfast designated for our team wasn't great. I placed a high bar considering the impressive hotel room and lobby. -The cost of the breakfast buffet $21 an adult was expensive. -The cocktails at night were expensive. $16 for a Moscow Mule and no Happy Hour or complimentary evening wine like some hotels still have. -Beds were not comfortable. For the price I wouldn't stay there again.

    Total rip off, parking is not attached. You have to pay a small fortune for self parking and walk across a street to get the lobby.

    Nice hotel room confortable?

I came across the Terrace, located near the university, which featured a lovely patio and scenic views overlooking the golf course. When we arrived around two in the afternoon, the restaurant was nearly empty. The interior was stylish, but I preferred sitting outside to enjoy the view. A large group of golfers was having lunch nearby. Since it wasn't crowded, our server easily arranged a table for seven. One downside was a man who continued to smoke on the patio despite being told it wasn't allowed, though fortunately, he didn't smoke the entire time. My man and I shared a Mexican Mango Mule, which was especially refreshing after the lengthy ceremony. We sampled several dishes--calamari, chicken wings and fries, beef tacos, and chicken tacos--in order of preference, from most favorite to least (though none were bad, just varying in appeal). The kids enjoyed a bowl of Bolognese and seemed satisfied. To top it off, the staff surprised me with a complimentary brownie and ice cream to celebrate my graduation. The service was excellent, the venue was perfect for lunch, and the food was delicious!

The 5-star friendly, professional, and attentive-yet-unrushed service from Cassandra and (on our return visit) bartender, Drew certainly added to making our experiences very enjoyable.

I booked Adina I believe in 2018 and she is not only professional but she is sweet, humble, and genuine. She worked with us every step and hurdle the pandemic caused.

When the day of happened all that I dreamed of came to life. She worked with our budget and was realistic with us on what was worth getting to achieve the look and experience we wanted on our special day. All of our guests not only loved the venue, which is one of the exclusive venues of Event Loft, but they said the food and staff were impeccable. We have guests that continue to tell us that the venue was a gem to find and that everything was well scheduled. We booked everything with Event loft, except for the DJ and sofreh designer. She was very kind to the other vendors and helped them when needed. We have the most memorable photos, video and the flowers were beautiful and excellent quality. I couldn't imagine not having Adina and her team working our wedding. I simply can't thank them enough.

Adina was so helpful throughout the process and the venue was so absolutely stunning. It fit my wedding design so perfectly and I felt like it was truly meant to be. Our wedding was a dream and we couldn't have pulled it all together without their quick responses and help to make our day amazing.

I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen for awhile and it was the perfect place to catch up during a walk around of the garden. I loved the pond with the lily pads and turtles, and the Heritage House surrounded by orange trees and roses. I was impressed by the amount of orange trees. It reminds you of why they call it Orange County. If I went to school here I'd be here probably once a week. Otherwise it's great to come if you live in the OC.

From the parking lot it was easy to follow the signs along to the garden. The garden had areas that represented Woodlands, Mediterranean, Dessert, and a Cultivated Collection. There were walking paths but I still recommend closed toed shoes since it's a bit sandy. They had many benches throughout for resting or handing out and admiring nature. We spent about an hour here, but to be fair I'm not that into nature. I GOT A BUG BITE and it swelled and was super itchy. Sigh. I think someone who super loved nature or wanted to take their time to hang out could take 2-3 admiring all the plant life. My FAVORITE moments here was when we came across wildlife. My favorite were the rabbit, turtle, and crane. It's beautiful. Great spot to get some steps in and absorb some sunlight.
