I love the 9hotel chain and - along with Mama Shelter - try to stay in them wherever and whenever possible. However, my stay at the Republique location left me with a sour taste in my mouth. While similar to all other locations, it - and its staff - were not up to the same level I have come to expect.
The room, while lovely in decoration, was noisy from both indoor courtyards and had a shower that was more than inadequate - the rainfall shower spouts had more than 50% of their openings clogged.
Additionally, there seem to be an inadequate number of irons in the hotel given the number of guests. The fact that staff were unable to provide one on three separate occasions across my stay left me annoyed and, more importantly, extremely wrinkled.
Value, location and cleaniless, remain the best features of this chain. Room quality and service, however, were lacking.
