Excellent stay
Excellent hotel. Very easy check-in via ipads in reception area. Friendly staff, plenty of sofas and seats to relax. Very nice bar area. Easy to use the tech in the room, spotlessly clean. In a very walkable area of the city.

If you like a compact room this is the place
The room should have been called a pod, no wider than the length of the bed, minimal floor space, min storage space. This was my experience with this brand hotel.

Friendly front desk. Good location. Clean and quiet room. Nice mattress.
Little weak water pressure. Toilet water noise after flush continues after repeat flushes. Shower head keeps turn to side when hung. Pillows are too high.

I would prefer traditional check-in service over self service. Your company is in the hospitality business, you should provide customer service instead of requiring Self Service.
