Las instalaciones son demasiado sencillas y minimalistas. Podría ser un hotel 2 estrellas. No hay servicios adicionales. Es de esos hoteles como líneas aéreas baratas te quieren cobrar por cualquier cosa extra. Todo es extra cost.

This place is pure design, at the expense of utility. When here, you feel like you're in a Wes Anderson movie. The floors, rooms, walls are all hard. There's very little in the way of soft, cozy comfort. If you're looking for that, this is not the place for you.

Every surface, every design decision, every space completely reimagined. It’s as if old is new and new is comfort. An oasis that embraces you. And groovy, too.

The room I booked was unavailable so i was downgraded to the smaller room size. Also, the hotel had no parking avail when i arrived, and no parking was avail within walking distance of the property. Due to the limited parking availability it would have been helpful for expedia to offer parking reservations with this hotel at time of booking - reserving parking was not an option that was presented. This is especially frustrating since I booked a package for flight, car, and hotel at the same time - meaning Expedia should have recognized that i would likely have a car. Overall a really frustrating arrival experience. After over 90 minutes of looking for parking the valet offered to give up his spot to let me park for the one night i was staying.
