• Bernadette from United States – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

  Modern and sleek atmosphere. Loved the cute room with a comfortable bed!
  
  What could be improved: Everything is controlled in the room by an app or the iPad. We couldn’t get the air/fan to kick in with those controls and there were some weird glitches that caused the TV to turn off randomly a lot.

• Rj from United States – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

  Friendly concierge and bar staff. Good bar snacks food and very good drinks. It was quiet and relaxing and the customizable lighting is also very nice. Great shower too.
  
  What could be improved: They were running a test and replacement of the smoke detectors in the rooms and my girlfriend was trying to shower at that time so I asked them to come back later. They came back in about 10 minutes while she was in the shower. I drew the curtain but I didn’t feel comfortable with 2 strange men being there while she showered. She was also uncomfortable with that. They couldn’t see anything and they were quick but it wasn’t ideal. All that being said it was a generally excellent experience. We would absolutely come back.
