Well, the breakfast wasn't free (it was $60), but it was quite good. The room was gigantic & had a fantastic view, and the location was great. Things in the room showed some use, though. The sink fixtures were falling apart, and some of the lights were burnt out. But we had a great stay, and the bed is super comfy. A nice spot that just needs a little more TLC than it is currently gettting.

This was my first time staying here, and I really loved it. Cannot beat the location. Room was large, very clean. I loved all the glass, The view was astounding. The only thing that could have been better was if they had a closet pole or dresser drawers. There was nowhere to put my clothes. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel itself was great. Amazing security and I loved my room. The bathroom to the door took some getting used to but overall; great hotel. The area around it is making me not stay here again. There was yelling constantly through the night or I couldn’t walk down to the restaurants because of the homeless

Great views but the bathroom is not in its own room and has no privacy. It is basically a stall in the room. It feels very much like a hostel. The shower was dirty and the shower bar was held together with a paper towel.

This is an interesting hotel to say the least with respect to the concept of the rooms. I got a room with a full size bed that was up a tiny ladder. The ceiling was so low that you could not stand in the bedroom. I’m not a fan of the bathroom being in the middle of the room separated by only a foldable wall. Great location, it was clean, easy check in, and helpful staff. But it just felt more like a hostel.

First time stay

Not super clean. Some furniture needs repair or upgrade. I had curtains stained in my room but the management was super responsive and moved me to a better room. The Internet was slow though. Maybe it was just in my room because I saw lots of people were using their laptops downstairs. Also the amount of homeless people around the hotel doesn’t add it a charm. The AC was working but because of the room design, the living area was not getting enough cool air, making it hot while it was freezing by the entrance and kitchen area. This place has an interesting design, but I wish the maintenance of this place was better.
