I love boutique hotels offering something beyond a cookie-cutter, comfortable experience. We were mainly looking for a hotel that could provide both a coffee shop and a bar/lounge on property, and Hotel Emblem delivered perfectly on these along with a fantastic, quirky vibe. We loved the music in the lounge, the kind and helpful staff offering Sangria on check-in, and the delightful signature scent in the public areas. We also loved the extensive list of unusual amenities available even if we didn’t take advantage of most. Our very minor criticisms are that we would have appreciated better lighting in the room near the full-length mirror and also that the bathroom door closed on its own and couldn’t be held open to let steam out. However, these issues were very nominal and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
