Decent Stay but Some Issues

reasonable distancestrong marijuana odorunconcerned staff
The location was adequate, placing me within a reasonable distance of where I needed to be.
Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of marijuana throughout the night. It was difficult to breathe. Staff acted unconcerned, saying it was a 'Saturday night thing' without offering help and I found that unhelpful. I had to change hotels.

great locationfriendly staffwell-designed roomsliterary theme
i chose this place because of the location and i was not disappointed! the staff welcomed me each day with a friendly hello after my days out, especially panda, who was kind. the rooms are well designed, and a good size too. the literary theme throughout the hotel was something i loved.
The windows seemed really thin. I could hear everything happening outside at all hours, hard to sleep. Earplugs are a good idea.

the reception team offered a warm welcome and provided great advice on local dining. i appreciated the unique design of the hotel and its well-appointed spaces. the coffee shop was convenient, offering granola and good coffee. i found the location to be safe and lively, near shops and cable cars.
I found the absence of a refrigerator in the room a minor inconvenience. It would have been a useful addition.

the sink had weak water pressure. also, there was a distinct smell, which could be due to the building's age, that i found a bit off-putting.
