While the design is pretty hip there are a few things that really need improvement.
1. Bedding: I had a queen bed with a duvet the size of a single bed. When I asked for one that would actually fit the bed I was just given another single sized one. There was also only 1 pillow. I had to ask for 3 more. The horizontal style opening of the pillow cases causes pillows to constantly slip out
2. The body soap in the shower smells like a teenager's medicated acne soap. You'll smell it on yourself during your entire stay.
3. Atmosphere: one would expect the hip design and bar would make for a great evening lounge. Nope! It's way too bright in the evening and the bartender doubles as guest services/reception. I ordered 2 identical bourbon cocktails from their menu. First they were dumbfounded by the order seemingly looking for a bottle labeled with name of the cocktail on it. When I pointed out it was on their menu, they had to consult their cocktail making cheat sweet. The kicker was watching them make one with bourbon and inexplicably with dark rum for the second one!
4. Location is ok to get to the center in minutes whether by foot, bike or scooter to go explore. Note:there's a red light district type street a block away that you may want to avoid at night.
I'm not sure I would stay again. Not horrible, just not as hip of an experience as the pictures would make you believe.
