Such a cool place
The Ace isn't just a hotel, its a scene. How often is the entrance of your hotel patrolled by bouncers overseeing a queue of cool, trendy New Yorkers waiting in line to get a drink at the hotel bar? This scene is commonplace at the Ace. The trendy scene aside, this place is clean, well run and the staff did everything they could to accommodate our requests. The restaurants in the hotel are also fabulous, and the smell of coffee from Stumptown as you walk through the lobby is delicious. 
We stayed in a cheap room, and it was plenty big enough for us. A point worth noting though, all but two rooms have a safe. We were unlucky enough to be in one of them despite requesting a safe on booking. That said, the staff quickly moved us into a room with a safe, no questions asked. 
This is a great place to stay, and to me, worth every penny.
