The hotel is aesthetically just cool, location is great, on site coffee shop, restaurant and pool made the stay very convenient. Loved the ambiance of it all. Staff were friendly. Only downside is that I was working remotely during my stay and my room faced a doggy daycare and dogs were barking loudly from morning until late afternoon.
