Good place to stay for a night

The hotel has some weird decor like beads hanging outside the rooms and elevator. Besides that the room is spacious and comfortable. It was quiet during the night and in a good neighborhood.

Loved this place. Fun lighting and room entries. Close to everything. I would stay again. The only thing we noticed was an acetone type smell, I think they may have been painting or something. It didn't impact our stay, thankfully.

Great Stay

Location is great, just a short walk into the main area(s). Staff, were nice. They left some treats in the room as it was a trip to celebrate our anniversary. The rooms are quirky but great. Area felt safe, with some bars and restaurants close by. Only negative would be that the rooms aren't 100% soundproof, could hear some snoring here and there. That being said, I would stay here again.
