This is the first hotel that I've stayed at that didn't have a ground floor entry lobby and reception desk. We were directed to the second floor bar and lounge area to be checked in by a young woman at her laptop computer. The staff was friendly enough, and when I said that this arrangement was rather strange, her response was "Yes! We're different." When we reached our room I was taken aback by the furnishings and decor. It was a small room for two people, and it had no area for storing luggage amd little space to hang clothing. The furnishings were minimal and more like in a college dormitory than in very good rated hotel. Other than for the bed, which was comfortable, there was not on other soft surface in the room. The appointments in the bath were minimal without even a towel bar to use for safety. Being an architect, I could see that the space was poorly dimensioned and probably didn't meet standard building codes. Additionally, the sink was located in the sleeping area adjacent to what was supposed to be a desk. There was just one hard chair in the room, and I had to request another chair to put luggage on. The final insult was one small window in a sloping part of the ceiling from which we could see nothing. I have no idea what other rooms in the hotel looked like, but I will never recommend this hotel based on what I experienced though the one very positive feature was the excellent breakfast that was served.
