I recently stayed at this downtown hotel, and it truly stood out with its innovative room design and a fantastic breakfast selection. The rooftop bar offered amazing views, which made for great evenings. However, the room was a bit small for two people, and I found myself having to shuffle around a little to get out of bed. Overall, the experience was well worth the price, given all the features and conveniences.
