fantastic stay!

unique design indoor landscaping mood lighting
the hotel has amazing attention to detail. i noticed this in the unique design and environment. there was thoughtful landscaping even indoors. i also appreciated the mood lighting and the down-tempo music. the cleanliness was great here.
the soundproofing wasn't the best. street junction noise was present from early morning. i would request a room on the other end of the building next time.

faulty window neglected building
the location was acceptable because many restaurants are nearby.
my room overlooked an adjacent building, it looked neglected. the window frame was faulty. air conditioning units nearby kept me awake at night, the transparent bathroom idea seemed pointless to me.
