very trendy decor for the room, very comfortable beds with excellent pillows. Hotel staff was friendly and the coffee and tea station in the lobby was perfect! Only complaint was the glass sliding bathroom door. The lock didn't work and it closed with a loud bang clang. More decorative than functional.
