Room was very small/very tight space for 2 males. 2 small drawers to unpack to, small hanger space, nowhere to set your bathroom stuff in the bathroom. What little desk space was cluttered with hot water pot, coffee cups etc and wine glasses and glasses if want something out of frig. Had to empty frog so I could put me meds that need to be kept cold in frig, and put coffee pot ets on floor so I could use the desk. It’s maybe a 3 star but lives like a 2 star. Staff was pleasant but not many of them. Skimpy with towels. Gym equipment is a rusty old nightmare. Rooftop bar plays their bad music as loud as possible which is to loud. Bar on roof can only make a handful of cocktails as it’s not a full bar. Overall disappointing but great location if want to be in gay scene.
