There is not enough space in this review to say how amazing this experience was. This is not a normal LEGO set, it is a beautiful experience. Do not listen to any negative critique. They're salty with the number of missing pieces. There were a few for me, only because the instructions are very complex. The minifigures are unique, every aspect of this set is astounding. There are so many details, the play experience is amazing, and the building experience seemed like a journey of sorts, one to build something you'll be proud of. The layout is expertly done, there are small blurbs throughout the instruction book that make it easier to build, and there are endless references to the Assembly Hall set. This set overjoys me and is the best LEGO set ever made, in my opinion. I hope LEGO keeps up the amazing work and I will be buying next year's Modular building for sure.
So far I am enjoying this, and like many others I opened bag 13 before launching the Lego "I need a replacement piece" aspect of building. While I understand that correcting the printed instructions is expensive, I also have always thought good things about Lego, and I can't imagine them being pleased that someone would gift this, only to discover such an massive mistake in the instructions.
Aside from that egregious error, I have enjoyed the build and have the Jazz Quartet lined up next (and a few others).
I would recommend this to a friend!

We appreciate your honest feedback on your experience while building the Jazz Club set. The instruction error will be corrected with the next printing and has been corrected in the online instructions. We understand this isn't ideal and apologize.
Hahaha, thanks Lego for inexplicably losing my entire review when I clicked submit. I won’t even try to reproduce it. So: cool set, not the all time greatest but a very good continuation of the modular tradition. Also: these 3000-ish piece modulars are starting to feel kinda small next to the truly gigantic sets like the colosseum and titanic. Maybe it’s time for a supersized modular.
I'm attempting to finish the JazzClub building. The pieces listed on page 252 (#332) and page 253 (#333) are missing. I need replacement of these missing parts ASAP.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

as a lifelong lego builder I was head over heels when my girlfriend picked this out on a whim visit to the lego store at the flatiron. I see a lot of complaints of missing pieces, there's many sections of repeating bricks and colors with slight length variation and its easy to put the wrong one in the wrong place which will mess you up later on. That being said take your time. It's an awesome build to sit down and tackle with your loved one, have a soda and fresh flowers at the table and its several date nights worth of entertainment. As you can see we followed up with the hotel. Love this series lego, thank you!
Fun build, like the other ones in this “family.” my only complaint would be that it’s a bit bland by comparison to the other buildings in the group. The detail is there, but not at all like the boutique hotel - which is stunning! Still a great build and super fun.
