Compact business hotel.

This is a good business hotel. Every room is brand new and modular in design. Very compact, and reminds you of staying in Japan. But big enough, and very clean.

I've stayed at their miami location and this has the same quality. I like the efficient layout of the rooms and the cafe/bar is great for working. For the price I would stay at their locations again.

The hotel was beautiful, friendly staff, bar area was very comfortable and the staff was so nice and accommodating. When I walked In they were there to check me and my guest in and even gave us free drink coupons since my husband had just finished his radiation. I would definitely stay there again!
