Its a cool and funky hotel but was not worth what I paid for it. Upon arrival I was told there were additional fees because I had paid through a third party. The room was basic at best and the lighting was terrible. It was really poorly lit . The restaurants and bars were not open on Sunday . They were pretty cool but I would expect them to be open to guests. I wouldnt stay here again. It was just OK.

Excellent elevators, great location, interesting unique art on the walls in the rooms, good shower. Very dark in the room, even with all the lights on (and some were blinking like strobes, and some hard to turn on) - I could barely see to put on makeup. The refrigerator was so tiny - a total waste of space and energy. Better to put shelves in that space!

Didn’t see a bar. Staff was nice. Mattress was worn out and awful. Carpet in rooms is yucky. Paint needs a fresh up in the whole place.

I go walk in to do a reservation and a manager he was lied to me on the desk. He say I don’t have rooms no more available until I go outside to the street and I do reservation online by the phone and then I come back again I take my room. And then I find out my account next year. He charged me more money from how much I make reservation online so this people they’re not honest with a customer. And also is not clean enough
