What a cool hotel! It was obviously once used as apartments, but the new set up is even cooler. We had SUCH a spacious room, with an included bathroom that was clean and comfortable. It was so spacious, in fact, that each bed had a TV at the end of it. We were very comfortable.

Professional team, and the room is warm. One day I lost my necklace in the room, I can't find it at all, it's pretty thin, until the second day I go to work, when I came back, I saw it just on the desk, very surprise, the cleaner found it and put it on the desk, then you know how deep and detailed cleaning they're doing!
