right downtown, super friendly staff, really nice and big room, great gym (even has sauna and steam room). I appreciate the Elkay water filling station in lobby. And the art in the lobby is actually really cool and inspiring. Definitely will back.

We valet parked since we knew we did not need to drive anywhere since so many things are within walking distance of the hotel. Check in was quick and easy, the staff was friendly. The elevator came quickly. Our room was clean, the shower had plenty of hot water and a good shower head. The only comment we have is the noise level in our room as the walls seemed thin and we could hear everything the family with children next to us were saying. But they quieted down in the evening so it was fine. Also, they had some interesting art pieces in the lobby.

The showery had lukewarm water. The staff said we had to run the water for several minutes but it still remained lukewarm at best. Don’t feel right running water for 10 minutes or more just waiting. The room was cold. Heater never properly worked. The staff told us heat was motion sensitive. What happen when I fall asleep. Valet was confusing at night. Really one of the worst hotel experiences. Simply not worth it.

Attended a bat-mitzvah the other week that was beautiful and enjoyable! There was a young man in all black wearing a yarmulke over his braids (didn't catch his name) that saved the day several times! When the av didn't work, when the bar was missing something, when the lights need adjusting, everything. He even took time to escort my elderly aunt to the (very precurious here if you haven't tried) bathroom when she was lost. The bartender (think his name was darius) even took the time to hand-make more mix for a mocktail my daughter was LOVING, even after the bar ran out. 10/10 service from the event team at 21c!

This whole experience has been terrible. From booking spa appointments, to booking the room over the phone with hotel staff. Staff cannot confirm anything! I have never seen such a disorganized mess in my life at a hotel.
