The Vendue

The Vendue

8/10 Good
"Location near waterfront park was the best. We stayed in the Enclave across the street and we were glad that we did not have to view the contemporary art in the lobby of the Vendue every time we entered the building. The rooftop bar was a huge disappointment. It was a factor in choosing this hotel but it was empty most of the time and unpleasant to sit in. It was aimed at a younger crowd and the staff was surly."
