I appreciated the interactive lobby setup. It was really fun! the room i got was trendy and compact. it was really perfect for my short stay. it was super close to all the tourist attractions. the location made everything so convenient.
The room was quite small. I reminded me of i was in a sleeping capsule. the bed was also too short for me, and i am not even that tall! the bed linen reminded me of the poorest quality and the pillow was horrible. i even found human hair on the towels!
