"Pros: Location was excellent for shopping and bar hopping and the staff superior. The hotel restaurant bar was great and food excellent. The cons: The walls are paper thin and on Saturday night people next door partied so hard from 2 am to 6 am so i checked out a day earlier as i got no sleep and also the room is small barely enough for a big suitcase. The bright side I had a city view and it was a plus."

"The hotel had a very modern look and was clean. However the technology was not the easiest to use (coming from someone in their 20’s). I would use the tablet to turn the air conditioning down and the temperature never regulated. The rooftop pool and bar was a nice addition, but if you are traveling with kids I would not recommend. The check in/checkout process was odd. They show it being fully self instructed but the workers would intervene and decided to ask questions when we are already leaving. Even though there were more than six workers just sitting there. They also have no designated parking garage or validation. When we asked about it the worker just explained how a parking garage works…"
