When I checked into my room, the sheets weren’t changed. There were stains on the sheet and pillow case. I’m not sure if it was because of poor washing or if left from a prior guest, but after a 16 hr flight, I don’t want to make a complaint within the first 5 minutes of being there. The manager was friendly and helpful - he switched out the sheets but I had to ask him to change everything - from pillow cases to the down sheet - eventhough it was clear the sheets may have been used. The room was nice and comfortable and the water ran perfectly hot. I slept comfortably. The downside to the room is location - you can hear the foot traffic and staff moving about too early in the morning. However, I slept well and disruptions weren’t major. Other than that, the location is great, with eating options up and down the street. The pool and rooftop weren’t available when I was there and this was not mentioned on the hotel page when I was booking.

The place is very cute, quaint and clean. Staff were very nice. Not accessible, though, for folks with disabilities. Very small rooms, narrow stairwells and halls. No elevator. You have to be in great physical shape to lug your own bags in and out and actually take the climb to the Skybar area, for the views. I didn’t like that breakfast was à la carte and at additional cost. So I jumped in an Uber and had fancy breakfast 5 minutes away. The bed was very firm. Pillows nice and plush. Shower hot and refreshing. Hand towels. Bath towels. No washcloths or face towels.
