acceptable stay, some issues

modern designnoisy roompoor housekeeping

The modern design was nice and easy to find.

I stayed for several nights, and it's supposedly a five-star hotel, but it didn't measure up. The room was noisy, even though I asked about it at check-in. I could hear everything from the street. The housekeeping was not good. My room wasn't properly cleaned, and the front desk said they outsource cleaning.

I found the room tastefully decorated with ample amenities and a comfortable bed. The location was also great. It was a short walk to Chinatown and the metro was across from the hotel. IT was very easy to travel around.

THE room was clean and tastefully furnished. BUT there were severely lacking areas to hang items and very limited "useful" space. We ended up just leaving our suitcases open on the floor.
