The staff are absolutely fantastic and the facility is clean and well designed. The rooms are very, very small, which worked fine as a solo traveler but would be challenging for two people. The whisky bar is cool and the staff knowledgeable and helpful and good food. A very cool hotel, just know beforehand the rooms are small so you aren’t surprised.

Nice, no frills hotel. Very clean and in a prime area. Rooms are very small, as it is a “micro hotel”, otherwise it is a great choice.

No parking. My husband dropped me off at the front to verify if valet was Ava. The attendant told me my hair looked nice and said I looked like I was in my mid 20’s. He then told me the elevator wasn’t working and needed to escort me when I got back. When I got back with my husband he no longer needed to escort us. Made me a bit uncomfortable. To top it off they put us under the nightclub apparently.

First of all, the staff was great!! The two star review was towards the room itself. I didn't care about the size. It was very clean also. My complaint was due to the banging noise from either the pipes or elevators. Do not let them put you in room 316. It is right outside the elevators. I didn't mind hearing the happy patrons just the weird banging noise that kept my daughter and I awake so we checked out early so we didn't have to sleep there again.
