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.
