I thought Peppers was more high end than this. This is a weird place. Strange lobby, checkin and bar. No room service and no drinks or water in mini bar, so after arriving late disappointed not to have any options. Perhaps I missed this when choosing the hotel. The bed mattress was awful and I rolled into the groove of people who have stayed before me. Anyway it’s fine, but not great.
