I understand that the rooms were designed to have a minimalist feel, however, since I was there for 5 nights it would have been helpful to have a dresser for my clothes!

The room was so small couldn't even find a place to fully open a hard sided suitcase.... one elevator was out and pancake maker at breakfast was down.... when booking i saw the hotel was fairly new and thought it would be very nice.... it was clean and location awesome but can't get over the room size.

Good for a quick stay

Was good. Good breakfast. Room was small. No closet to hang clothes, but to hung to be seen. No drawers to store clothes. Good for one night stay I guess. No microwave either.
