Nathan Manilow Sculpture Park

Love the RIU! The room was spacious, clean and the staff is very welcoming. The RIU is centrally located within the downtown area. ( This was a huge plus) Take advantage of the breakfast on the 2nd floor! Great way to start your morning and get fueled up for the day! -Highly recommend the rooftop bar, but make reservations and ask for seating on the ledge bar for the best night time view experience. (Side note; the food is bar food and not really a place to have a good meal. But the drinks are fantastic and nonalcoholic are available) Tired at the end of the day…then go to the lobby bar have a drink and sit in the lounge and relax. Highly recommended the stay!

Overall, the hotel was in a good and convenient location, but unfortunately, my experience with the property itself was disappointing. Check-in took much longer than expected, and there was a long wait before I was able to get settled. Upon walking into the hotel, I immediately noticed an unpleasant smell that did not give the impression of a clean property. Unfortunately, the room had a similar smell and did not feel or smell as clean as I would have expected. The room also did not look as advertised and was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. Another major issue was trying to contact the front desk. I attempted several times to call from the room for towels and general information, but the phone would only beep and would not connect or even ring. I also tried calling the hotel from my cell phone and experienced the same issue. It was extremely difficult to reach anyone unless I physically went down to the front desk. The location was definitely a positive, but the overall customer service, housekeeping, cleanliness, and communication need significant improvement. With better attention to these areas, the guest experience could be much better.
