Partner Reviews: Ace Hotel

Check out the free breakfast in the morning... -
Request room 130 if you are on you're honeymoon or a romantic weekend. The shower is huge and you can has glass walls. -
The beds are super comfortable! I slept like a baby! -
Bring a pair of flip-flops or slippers. Helpful when going between your room and the showers. -
If you leave your toiletry kit at home, you can get all the basics and more next door at Rudy's -
Request your copy of the Kama Sutra. My last two rooms didn't have one. -
Feels like home. The staff is super nice! -
They serve Stumptown at their Continental Breakfast. That would be a coffee win.
