The Sage Hotel
I really wanted to like this property, but it was awful. The check in went smoothly. The front desk was super nice, but then my floor was so dirty. My socks were black! I complained twice to the front desk and the following day housekeeping came to clean it. Which they did not. Fine…I was like it ...
