Unique Stay in a Converted Tower

unique architectureeasy parkingunstable water
the hotel's architecture impressed me. the complimentary tea and coffee bar was a nice touch (i especially enjoyed the coffee). the location allowed easy walks to main shopping areas. parking was relatively easy for such a central location.
i found the shower's hot water temperature fluctuated. it changed from hot to scalding very quickly. this made showering somewhat uncomfortable.
