Hotel Nell - Union Market

the vibe of the hotel is nice! rooms are pretty quaint and minimal, i really appreciated something different than beige or just plain white rooms. friends had a twin room and i booked a queen. bathroom in the twin was nicer than the queen, but both were good rooms!

i did request an early check-in for the queen bedroom, but when i got there at the exact time i requested, they told me my room would not be available until 4pm but the twin room i had booked for my friends was already available. not too frustrating, but just a little inconveniencing!

Rooftop bar. Comfy beds. Microwave. Free water. Friendly staff.

Shower was too weak

It opened up a whole area I had never explored! Right in the middle of a converted industrial area teaming with unique eateries, independent shops and street art. Really nice to walk around in.

The rooftop area (at least the evening we came in) seems disorganized. We were 2 people at 5:00 pm. We just wanted a snack and drinks. The restaurant was nearly empty. We were greeted with anxiety at our not having a reservation, saying they had "lots" of reservations coming in. When they finally decided they could accommodate us, the server was inattentive with getting our order, water etc. Considering she told us we had to leave at a certain time, this seemed counterintuitive. I saw several other walk in's experience the same treatment/confusion at the nearly empty resturant hesitating to seat couples. At some point several large groups came as we were getting ready to leave, but things could have been friendlier and there could have been more grace.

Room tidied everyday bed comfortable jug in room

No shelves in shower to accommodate our own soap etc Sink located outside of the bathroom near room door Coffee machine was placed where there was no power point to operate it we had to move it each time to use TV difficult to navigate failed to get live TV Hotel restaurant menu restricted husband could not eat his meal overpriced
