Underwhelming Stay. Disappointing Room Condition.

beautiful locationbroken tilesindustrial vibe
The location is beautiful.
I was not impressed, particularly with the room itself. The bathroom door barely opened when I brushed my teeth. Broken tiles and the general industrial vibe were a big letdown, especially considering the high price.
