The Mayo Hotel

Amazing is Hotel!! If I could give it higher then 5 stars I would. Penthouse House Bar amazing!! Having a Starbucks right by you at all the time amazing!! Rooms are immaculate and palatial.

This hotel is wonderful, and you get an apartment for the price of a modest hotel room. The building is beautiful, and friendly staff. I’ve stayed here several times over the past years for a fun stay-cation. I secretly don’t want the secret to get out about how great this place is because you just can’t beat their rates! The rooftop bar is also amazing! Make sure to get a picture in front of their “MAYO” sign while you’re up there.

Haven’t stayed here but know a guy who lives there and he loves it. Visited his apartment once and it’s definitely very cool! There is live music there on the weekends on the top floor, with a huge rooftop. Only bummer about the rooftop is that the concrete railing is so high, you can’t see over it, you can just peak between the little beams. Drinks are definitely overpriced here!

We hit the penthouse for a sunset happy hour event. The space is rectangular. It has dark wood floors, the lower half of the walls are wood paneling, upper half are painted emerald green, stained glass windows with purple and yellow furniture accentuating the room. Tonight they had a solo artist performing fairly current music. In a place like this you would assume someone would come take your order but we found that isn’t the case. We ordered drinks and appetizers at the bar. My interaction with the bartender was less than stellar. Honestly she seemed a little short for the beginning of a shift. We moved past that and sat where we could enjoy the music. They had him stuck between the bar and a half wall making it difficult to actually see him perform but he sounded good. As sunset approached we decide to go out onto the roof top patio. Unfortunately the walls that surround this patio are 5 or 6ish feet tall blocking some great views if you are short. I understand this is for safety purposes. We did end up standing on some chairs to fully enjoy the views. Btw, that is frowned upon. Understandably we were asked to get down. They have a smaller secondary patio off to the side above this one but it was closed. After some time we returned to a seat in the bar. Our food arrived shortly after. The chicken flat bread is served round in a pizza box. It was satisfying. The mushrooms were not. We received 5 sad looking stuffed mushrooms that tasted faintly of dirt. We used all of the dip to cover the taste. I am not sure I will order food again. My bill was a little over $20 for 1 small drink and 1 appetizer. I wouldn’t say this is a great happy hour value but it is considerably less than their normal prices and a decent way to try them out for the city views.

I love the roof top bar! The hotel is gorgeous. Must see it in person to get the real experience. You won’t be disappointed!!
