My stay at the Art House Hotel was disappointing. Check-in lacked warmth and friendliness, and despite a prior positive experience in a renovated room, I was placed in an unrenovated, tired space with plumbing issues. It seems hotels often assign less desirable rooms to third-party bookings, and this was no exception. While the room was quiet and the bed comfortable, the outdated décor and slow elevator made the experience frustrating, especially for a hotel priced over $400 per night. Staff were consistently indifferent, both at the front desk and the coffee bar. Checkout was similarly impersonal. Overall, the hotel feels dated and uninspired—there are better options nearby, and I won’t be returning.
