I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were attractive and fairly spacious, but the lack of an in-room coffee maker and the awkward bathroom setup with colliding doors were drawbacks. On the bright side, the comfortable bed and large, airy bathroom made for a quirky and artful luxury apartment feel.
