8/10 Very Good! (26 reviews)

The location of the hotel is perfect! The room itself is very nice. However, there was never any staff at the front desk. We were emailed a manual on how to use the washing machine, but our machine was different than in the manual, and it was difficult to figure it out. Also, the water in the shower was hard to figure out. There were no instructions on that, and once we figured out how it worked, we never figured out how to get warm water, so we had to shower with cool water the whole time we were there.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

Excellent hotel. Beautiful design, modern. Exceptional location. Robot delivery of amenity items was a fun novelty. Inability to provide and iron and ironing board was really disappointing for this quality of hotel.
