Solid stay!

innovative bathroomample towelsexcellent location
This hotel has a innovative shared bathroom concept. It feels quite expansive and safe with several private bathrooms including a sink, toilet, and shower available on each floor. I really liked they had ample towels and a carrying bag from the room was a plus. The location is excellent for seeing the city.
The room was very small.

A cool bar is available. I tried the matcha latte at the bar, it was very good. A 7/11 across the street sells snacks and coffee if you want alternatives.

Just OK, Some Issues Noticed

distant garagethin walls
The parking garage was not close. It was not on site. This made things quite difficult. I could hear everything from the neighboring rooms. Thin walls were an issue. there was no hot water in the bathroom one morning. I reported this to the front desk, but I got no solution. They did not apologize.

i found the hotel super clean. the staff members were kind and helpful. although there is no on-site parking, the staff directed me to a parking garage. the garage was a short walk away and very convenient, so the absence of on-site parking was not an issue.
