Top Floor Room Facing West, South, and East - A Wonderful Perch
A last minute decision to attend an event at the convention centre had me scrambling for a room. All the obvious hotels were booked, but the Roosevelt seemed close enough and there were no direr reviews on Trip Advisor so I booked a basic room for one night.
When I checked into the Roosevelt, I found myself in the most charming little room on the very top floor of the hotel. Due to the footprint of the top floor, my standard room was broken up into a separate sleeping and living areas with large TVs in each section. The room also had 4 windows facing West, South, and East. The one downside to the room was the teeny-tiny bathroom.
The Roosevelt is part of the Coast Hotel chain which is usually bland but practical. Yet the Roosevelt managed to retain its own unique personality while having the practical elements I’ve experienced in other Coast Hotels like a desk with easy to access power outlets and free WiFi.
One thing other reviewers did warn about was the steep price of valet parking. So I attempted to find a cheaper alternative before I arrived – without luck. But the valet parking turned out to have some added benefits: the parking was overnight (not 24 hours) and there were no limits placed on in-out service.
