The room was spacious. It comfortably slept four people. The location is very convenient. The lobby, gym, and hotel room were all very clean.
I thought the staff was not very attentive. The rooftop had a private event every night. I expected more facilities for the price.

The staff at the front desk were very nice, cute, and helpful. The lobby was very clean, modern, and well kept, as was the gym and the guest room. The hotel's location is very convenient. I also appreciated the valet service , made parking hassle-free.

rooftop events underwhelming pool
the rooftop events were a real pain every night it was like a private party i wasn't invited to. also the staff seemed a bit distracted i expected more attentiveness considering what i paid. i found the advertised pool to be underwhelming it resembled more of a large tub than a proper pool.

stylish stay

beautiful decor clean room central location comfortable bed
I found the room to be beautifully decorated and clean. the central location made it easy to walk everywhere. I didn't need a car. the bathroom was nice, and the bed was very comfortable. i only wish i had asked for a room with a better view. Mine faced a wall (a minor issue, really).
i expected a few more facilities for the price, specifically the pool felt small, more like a pond than a proper swimming area.
