I enjoyed the modern and stylish design. The rooms were comfortable. The hotel bar offered VERY good cocktails.

The cleaning was below average. The staff's communication skills COULD improve. They did not provide a shoe sponge, and said they didn't have one even though they did.

i had a suite and it had a large bathroom. the shower was spacious with good water pressure. the staff was attentive and helpful with directions.

the noise from the street was noticeable, especially early in the morning! though the soundproofing could have been better.
