What we found

Sienna at the Thompson delivers on views and location but falls short on the details that define luxury living. Leasing staff, especially Tabitha, win consistent praise for professionalism and knowledge. The concierge and maintenance teams are helpful when called upon.

The building's core infrastructure struggles. Elevators break repeatedly, forcing 10-20 minute waits to reach units on higher floors. AC fails for weeks without hotel-level compensation. Windows lack sound damping against 6th Street noise and street activity. Staff have entered apartments and stolen from residents, and there are no parking garage cameras to document vehicle damage. The $200 monthly "club fee" for amenities and a "perks" package feels extractive when the cold plunge sits empty, the sauna underperforms, and residents cannot use their own pool during busy hotel weekends.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable, attentive leasing staff (especially Tabitha)
  • skyline views and downtown location
  • fitness center and amenities
  • friendly concierge and front-desk team
Watch-outs
  • frequent elevator breakdowns and long wait times
  • inadequate AC repair response and performance
  • poor soundproofing and street noise
  • $200 monthly amenity/club fee for amenities that don't work well
  • unsafe surroundings due to homeless population and harassment
  • staff theft from resident apartments
  • garage security gaps and lack of cameras
  • shared pool and amenities with hotel guests

Best for: young professionals seeking downtown views who can tolerate building maintenance lapses and street-level safety concerns
Think twice if: elevators malfunction frequently; AC repairs take weeks; windows and doors do not block street noise well; parking garage lacks cameras; staff have stolen from residents; $200 monthly amenity fee covers amenities that often do not work

What this place gets right

  • striking views and walkable downtown location
  • knowledgeable leasing team led by Tabitha
  • friendly concierge and front-desk staff
  • in-unit washer/dryer and business center

Before you tour or apply

  • Tabitha, Matt, and Alexis Henderson in leasing team consistently praised for professionalism and responsiveness
  • Robert, Jahira, Imani, James, Jeph, and Nico named as exceptional concierge and front-desk staff
  • AC failure during ACL lasted over a week with no hotel accommodation
  • one elevator was sole working elevator for 1.5 weeks; management offered single drink as compensation
  • parking garage lacks surveillance cameras; staff entered resident apartment without scheduled maintenance call and stole money (documented on Ring camera)
  • sauna takes 15-20 minutes to build heat; cold plunge sat empty for months with bugs and dirt
  • indoor dog park noted but described as smelling terrible
  • gym floor bubbling from vinyl planking damage

FAQ

How long does it take to get an elevator?
Residents report waits of 10-20 minutes when elevators break down. The building has experienced extended outages where only one elevator was operational.
What is included in the $200 monthly club fee?
According to residents, the fee covers access to the sauna, cold plunge, and random hotel perks like valet a few times monthly. Residents say the amenities often do not work well or at all.
Is the pool available for residents during busy times?
No. Hotel guests share the pool, making it packed on weekends with few chairs available for apartment residents.

Most residents praise the downtown location, renovations, and staff warmth, particularly naming Amanda and Shauna as exceptional managers. One long review documents serious move-in failures, staffing gaps, and pest issues, claiming the "luxury" label is misleading and resulted in expensive problems.

Five-star reviews highlight spacious units at competitive downtown rates, with staff like Heather and Alejandro delivering white-glove service during leasing and maintenance. One-star and mixed reviews reveal systemic frustrations: the off-site leasing office makes real communication nearly impossible, especially for renewals and service issues. Packages frequently go missing from unsecured exterior locations, elevators often sit broken over weekends, and long-term residents report management prioritizes new leases over existing tenant retention. The building's industrial charm and pool area appeal to those seeking exposed concrete and high ceilings over modern finishes, yet the trade-off is operational wear: fire alarms sound regularly (some tape theirs over), utilities on older units spike unexpectedly, and wall-damage fees apply broadly due to textured surfaces. Maintenance staff respond quickly when reached, but the lack of property-based presence leaves residents stranded for package guidance, guest entry, or weekend emergencies.
