I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were so cute, especially with the stunning views from the higher floors, and they were spacious with a fridge and microwave. The unique design added a special touch to my experience. The service was top-notch; the staff were really friendly, always ready to help, and reachable at any time. The location, although a bit sketchier than what I expected, is still great being close to restaurants and bars. The hotel is in Hillcrest, which is both a gift and a curse due to its proximity to various bus lines. The dining experience, unfortunately, didn't include breakfast, but the signature meats were delightful. The facilities were fantastic, from the housekeeping to the convenience of the grocery shopping service and shops around.
