perfect boutique stay !

central location amazing rooftop clean room modern decor
the hotel is close to the university , a plus for seeing attractions. the rooftop gave amazing city views , so beautiful. our room felt really clean and it had plenty of space , so relaxing. the modern decor definitely added a nice touch.
the wi-fi signal occasionally dropped , it was a minor hiccup , but still slightly disruptive.
Service
10/10
