Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the hotel's great location, being close to public transport and attractions. However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the service, citing unhelpful staff and additional unexpected fees. Cleanliness was also a concern, with reports of stained carpets and poorly maintained rooms. Overall, while the location is a highlight, the service and room conditions need significant improvement.

Pros (+) The room was modern and trendy with black, white, and exposed brick. Fixtures were nice and the view of Powell Street kept most of our attention.
Cons (-) We were upgraded to a larger Queen room, and it was terribly small. I can't count the number of times I smacked a toe or knee on the desk just trying to go from one side to the other. No AC. I had work to do, and had to sit on the bed with my laptop because the desk was so small I couldn't really even use it with the coffee maker also on the desk.

Pros (+) Location, nothing else
Cons (-) This is a very small facility, the rooms feel like 6x6 and I think they actually are. The bathrooms are super small and old. There is a hanger not a closet and even after I complained about my first room the second was not much better.
