Charmingly Unique Stay

The hotel features an interesting building with distressed post-modern industrial style. I found the rooftop jacuzzi particularly enjoyable. It offered nice views. Staff members were notably kind and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel's quirky decor added to its charm. I was actually surprised.

The soundproofing wasn't great. I could hear noise from other rooms (it was a little irritating).
