"Non-traditional hotel but with a cool vibe. One might get taken by the fixtures in the room, but they worked for us. Only disappointment was that there was a small restaurant charge added to our bill after we received our first bill. We did not visit the restaurant. I have left two VMs for accounting dept and they have gone unanswered."
