Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was very clean & convenient. Negatives: air conditioning not great in lobby or in rooms. Also, the little in-room refrigerators don’t work well enough to be called refrigerators. Luckily, the very nice staff let me check my special refrigerator item in a walk-in near the lobby.

Nice small cozy place nearby the metro and relatively close to major attractions. Only thing is that there isn’t a lot of places to eat around within walking distance and therefore would be nicer if the hotel would offer more real food choices locally instead of just snack type foods.

Ok stay for a night near the Mall

Funky hotel with comfortable small space for one or two travelers (not kid friendly). Self check in was confusing, so was the breakfast process. and staff was not very welcoming or helpful. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference in a hotel stay, and the cheap toilet paper make that statement for me.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the room, although very small, was smartly designed. The food in the canteen was awful. Nobody seemed to know for sure how the sushi rooftop bar worked for guests at the hotel. Some people said we couldn’t go up there without a reservation and others told us we could go out there but we couldn’t eat there. There is actually a menu you can eat off of without a reservation in the sushi was very good and the view was beautiful.

Stayed for one night to run a half marathon; definitely suitable for couples or singles. Would NOT recommend for kids. Very small rooms but nice for travelers on a budget or couples trying to get away for a weekend

Small rooms

The hotel room was very small. I felt like I was on a cruise ship. I was disappointed that no microwaves, irons or ironing boards were in the room. There was only 1 drawer to put our clothes in.
