10/10 Exceptional
I really enjoyed my two-night stay at STILE. The check-in is contactless, but there are still staff on hand, and they were all friendly and helpful.
I loved the vibe of the place, from the music selection playing in the lobby to the industrial design of the rooms.
My room was clean and comfortable with some unique touches, like a white noise machine and complimentary skin care masks – I've never seen those in a hotel before! There's also a swimming pool, gym, cafe and rooftop bar on site.
PLEASE NOTE, however, that the area around the hotel can be unsafe. This isn't the fault of the hotel, of course, but it feels important to mention. After a scary altercation while walking along Broadway during the day, I resorted to getting taxis everywhere (aside from to a few lovely restaurants like zinqué that are less than a minute's walk away from the hotel).
In short, STILE is a fantastic hotel. I just wish I could pick it up and put it in a different area!
