tech-savvy stay

excellent location water fountain common spaces humorous details
the hotel location is excellent. i found the free water fountain at the bar particularly useful. the common spaces allowed meal consumption, regardless of where the food was purchased. i especially appreciated the nice and humorous details throughout the hotel.
The bed was located right next to the window. I found it a little difficult to move around it comfortably.

central location public transit security presence cramped room bed access strong scent
the location was VERY central. i found the proximity to public transit useful. the security presence in the lobby gave a feeling of safety.
the room felt quite cramped. i did not like crawling over my partner to get out of bed. the scent in the foyer was STRONG and a bit nauseating, unfortunately.
