Wonderful Stay at Restored Gem

helpful staff nice staff open-air level
I found the staff especially helpful and very nice. They went out of their way to be helpful with every aspect of the stay. The staff really elevates this hotel. I also liked that open-air level G offered coffee.
My only concern was the elevators, they could use some updating.

The rooftop terrace provided a relaxing space.
My room felt quite dated. Hallway light entered through a window-type opening in the door, it had a curtain covering it, but it did not block out the light. The beds were hard.

rooftop seating functional layout convenient amenities
the location provided easy access to nearby attractions. the rooftop seating area was a nice perk offering a spot to relax. i found the room's layout to be very functional. the presence of microwave and bar frig was very convenient, i appreciated these amenities.
unfortunately, i found the surrounding area lacked a family-friendly vibe, empty storefronts and noisy bars were present.
