This was my first time staying here, and I really loved it. Cannot beat the location. Room was large, very clean. I loved all the glass, The view was astounding. The only thing that could have been better was if they had a closet pole or dresser drawers. There was nowhere to put my clothes. Would definitely stay here again.

I regret that I only had 1 night to experience the service at this place. Everything was great, the room was clean, not too big but comfortable. Plus points for this place being close to downtown and the places I wanted to go. I will come back.

This is an interesting hotel to say the least with respect to the concept of the rooms. I got a room with a full size bed that was up a tiny ladder. The ceiling was so low that you could not stand in the bedroom. I’m not a fan of the bathroom being in the middle of the room separated by only a foldable wall. Great location, it was clean, easy check in, and helpful staff. But it just felt more like a hostel.
