stylin' stay

friendly staff perfect location comfy bed
i thought the staff was totally friendly and ready to give advice when asked. the location works great, is pretty safe, and the bed felt comfy. i really had no problem checking in or out, very well designed and appointed art-boutique hotel, rooftop access overlooking everything.
my room was a bit small for what i paid even if its the concept. some items needed fixing in the room. toilet paper was thinner than a sheet of paper.

cooperative staff security staff small room impractical sink
The location was excellent. It was close to all transportation. security staff stayed at the entrance. I felt safe. all staff seemed happy and cooperative.
The bed was placed right next to the window. It was difficult to move comfortably around it. the sink was in the room instead of the bathroom. This was impractical. the rooms were rather small.

central location public transport small room cramped space
the location was central, and i could easily access public transport (bart was just around the corner).
The room was too small. I felt a bit cramped, especially with the bed right against the window (i almost tripped trying to get out). it made moving around difficult.

the location worked fine for getting around, i guess.
the room was shockingly small. there was definitely a weird smell in the bathroom and the air conditioning seemed to recycle that smell. it was not a pleasant experience to breathe in there.
