10/10 Excellent
"Hotel was truly a unique experience! I loved the wide variety of art and interactive experience. Bed was extremely comfortable, and bathroom was one of a kind. Not sure nipples, noses and eyes in the shower were on my bucket list, but they fit with the hotel nicely. The spa was very enjoyable and massage was great. Location was dynamite. Staff seemed a bit inconvenienced when we stopped by/checked in and out, kind of like more art snobs than service individuals, but the stay was enjoyable."
