"Hotel Max has secured the honor of hippest hotel in the city, located close to the Fifth Avenue shopping district."

"Formerly the Vance, this hip boutique hotel features original artwork by local artists. Located in the heart of downtown."
Rough Guide
"Located in a renovated 1920s building a block from the monorail, a stylish hotel whose smallish rooms are kitted out with vaguely aesthetic themes – with original art in each room."
Star Service
"In a convenient but slightly out-of-center location for business and leisure...this boutique-style hotel has been doing swimmingly, especially among the business traveler crowd." Full review
