Keith, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice and clean boutique hotel at a good location, many restaurants around and near a supermarket. We were drawn in by their pictures in the booking websites. Elegant art deco lobby and room decor. Roof top pool is 2feet deep. Comfortable and very clean suite with a full-size retro fridge and kitchen sink. Bathroom was cozy and the shower water pressure and temperature was very inconsistent (weak then strong; warm, hot, then cold). Complimentary breakfast needs a lot more variety (no hot viands), not terrible but needs a lot of improvement. One main elevator. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
