Old School Cool Feel
Really cool top floor hotel. Old school feel of class from back in the day. Great views of the city. From what i was told it used to be, there must have been some parties back in the day. Now a quite place to relax in the soak tub.

The view from this hotel was absolutely spectacular! I would stay here again for that reason alone. I hadn’t paid close attention when booking the property so I was a little confused in locating it but that was all on me. The room was clean and spacious and the staff was friendly.

A special shot out Joel and the other gentleman in the concierge desk. We really enjoyed the stage. I would only suggest to have more different types of teas available for breakfast. The orange cinnamon tea ran out the first morning we stay.

I like the property and the decor enough but I was not a huge fan of the general ambiance and it is kind of an odd set up. The view from our window was amazing since the hotel is very high up in the building! The front desk people were really kind and helpful.
