Staff were great, vibe is cool, industrial. Bed was so comfy! Love the basket of snacks available for purchase in the room. Would not recommend for frail or elderly visitors - beds and chairs tend to be low, slope of shower and floor are a bit slippery. Overnight oats for breakfast and chai tea were both outstanding!
