nice staff rooftop bar room decor loud noise absent fridge parking problem
The staff was so nice, they did. the decor in the room, a private quad, felt so dreamy and special. i loved the rooftop bar. Those skyline views are forever etched in my mind. the building had a nice design.
the noise at night, oh my, it echoes through the streets and into the room. there was no fridge in my room, a private quad. the darkness in the reception, it felt a bit eerie, not cute at all.

i found the rooftop bar and pool very appealing. live jazz nights occurred and were excellent. little tokyo and the art district are within walking distance.
the room's glazing seemed dated, making it quite cold at night

rooftop pool area acceptable pool weed smell unpleasant experience
the rooftop pool area was open, i guess that was acceptable.
The room smelled strongly of weed, a very unpleasant experience. I found it lingered in the hallways as well. i'd expect better air quality. It certainly wasn't what i paid for. i don't know why they didn't address the smell
