We loved our stay! The staff was incredibly helpful and kind, and even provided an adapter to use since we forgot to bring one. Breakfast was good, and it wasn't an issue being across the street in another hotel. The room was really nice, with a spacious bathroom that actually seemed pretty luxurious. We would definitely stay here again!

Very comfortable hotel with zany decor and very well located for sight seeing and catching the tram. The breakfasts were great and also appreciated free drinks all day at main hotel. Staff extremely helpful. Our only problem was the cold room. Eventually worked out why it was so cold…. The thermostat is in the tiny hallway and gives false reading for rest of the room making the air on come on all the time.

The location is perfect. You're at the center of all the buzz but since the hotel is in a small alley, foot traffic is low. We loved the interior decor and the cleanliness of the property. It's modern and chic.
