Very strange concept hotel. We booked run of the house so got a random room. Rooms was very nice but didn't have some basics that other hotels did. We got a free drink on check in so we got a cocktail which was very nice and the bar had very good quality drinks. The staff were approachable and very helpful. Bar staff very knowledgeable. Definitely has a nice vibe overall. We also got them to deliver our baggage to our next hotel which was a very reasonable price
