I was at Hotel Hive this week for business and I will plan to stay here again any time I am back in town. The value at this place is beyond measure for so many reasons.
The room was perfectly appointed and had everything I needed - the hotel itself has a great vibe and is very clean, hip, and comfy with all the right touches.
However...
What blew me away about this place was the staff. My trip began with a lost bag and few other travel related issues. I was greeted at the hotel by Ruthie and Sakina - they made sure I had everything I needed and then some. During my stay I got lost taking the metro, so I called Dave at the front desk, and he helped me get back to the hotel - and Eliza was always happy to help me with any questions I had.
The food and hotel bar were so great! Graham, Dylan, Ali and Sef always made sure I was properly fueled with coffee, beer, or delicious pizza during my stay.
These people always had a smile on their face for me, and everyone clearly strived to do their part, however small to make not only mine, but every guest's experience a good one. Hotel Hive is doing something right to have a staff that cares so genuinely for what they do, the role they play in providing such excellent hospitality, and how that can impact the people who choose to stay there.
Special shout out to Ruthie for being extra amazing in every way, and wearing shiny gold shoes while doing it. XO Git it, girl.
