Modern Hotel in the Heart...

Liked: The lobby is stunning and gives such a comfortable vibe. The game tables, bar and the lounging area is beautiful. The windows to the lobby open to bring fresh area and the bustle of the city streets in.
Disliked: The cleanliness of the room. The carpet looks like it had not been cleaned in well over a month. I would have preferred if you took it out the room rather than laying it back on the floor. The bathroom also needed some deeper cleaning. The bathroom is always the key to really understanding your cleaning ability. Thank goodness I brought a small bleach spray and cleaning towel. Not what you want to do when you’re trying to rest, but better so you can enjoy the amenities as you planned.
