The Statler Hotel was okay, but a lot of details were disappointing and misleading. The 9th floor pool is tiny—waist-deep at most—and probably fits 10 people max. There are no views, and you have to get to it via a strange staircase.
The rooftop pool on the 19th floor looks like an infinity pool with skyline views and a DJ in the photos, but in reality, it’s just a shallow kiddie pool with no views. They charge $200–$2,000 for a cabana that’s nothing like what’s advertised. Totally not worth it.
They also don’t disclose that you can add one extra person to your room for an additional $20 per night—but they only tell you that in person, not over the phone or online. Communication could definitely be more transparent.
The room itself was average. The shower had no barrier or stopper, so the bathroom would flood every time you used it. Also, there’s no mini fridge in the room, which was frustrating for a hotel in this price range.
The gym was honestly the best part—clean, well-equipped with Peloton bikes and multiple treadmills. Plus, the location is great and walkable to a lot of good restaurants.
Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. It’s not terrible, but the misleading photos, lack of transparency, and poor room design made it a frustrating experience.
