The location is great with lots to see and do nearby. The rooms are a bit small but the hotel was comfortable and quiet inside. The windows are not well insulated so you do hear lots of sirens from outside. I would still stay there again without hesitation.

Great location with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Vibe is casual, fun, modern. Room was comfortable and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. All the normal amenities you'd expect at a hotel--robe, iron, toiletries, etc. My room was queen bed with a city view and included a desk with plenty of space for working. No closet, but dedicated space with hangers plus roomy drawers in the bedside tables. Bathroom is comfy and well-stocked. No bathtub but a spacious shower.

    This hotel is modern and chic. I love the overall design and all the amenities. I also loved how the restaurant stays open fairly late. The options for the restaurant were pretty good as well. The room itself is gorgeous! I had an end room that had windows on both side of the wall and that overlooked the city. I absolutely loved that you could control lighting and everything with the iPad in the room. They also had music that prompt sleep. The different amenities and functions in the hotel room exceed expectations.
