Fantastic city center stay

comfy bedgreat communicationdigital key
The room was fabulous, it featured a comfy bed. I also had a choice of pillows, it was a real plus (i value this very much). Communication was great. I received instructions on how to access the hotel. I got a follow-up call the morning after.
The digital key was very impersonal. I prefer a human touch. It created a slight disconnect.

adequate stay, some issues with the room

central locationdifficult check-insmall room
the location was central. it made getting around fairly easy.
The self check-in was not great. i didn't find it very easy to use the app and took a while to access my room. The room was smaller than it looked in photos. also, the bathroom sink was oddly positioned. it made simple tasks a bit awkward.
