6/10, Acceptable

While I was impressed with the on-site dining options and the overall customer experience (amiable and professional staff; excellent furnishings and fixtures, overall design aesthetic, etc.), I did take serious issue with a couple details that a hotel of the Shinola's caliber should be on top of, including: My overriding issue is with the acoustics of the room. I was situated on the 5th floor, but was absolutely able to hear every street sound (cars, music, etc.) and conversation being had by pedestrians! Its outstounding to me that a 5-star downtown hotel has not anticipated noise issues and addressed them through insulation and triple-pained windows. My only other minor complaints include a bathroom sink that quickly backed up; the sliding bathroom door demanded maximal force to close; and when I went to get into bed it was evident that their was not fitted sheet on the bed, and the base sheet had not been tucked in, so I was compelled to tuck it in myself so as not to sleep on the mattress cover directly.
