The staff experience made up for the minor room irritations.
Pros:

Unique concept, very clean, excellent staff interactions, beautiful restaurant food & vibe

Cons:

The devils in the detail, very small things that took the edge off for me…
1. Floor vent aircon went off every 5mins like a bathroom hand dryer being used. So noisey I had to ask for it to be switched off in my room.
2. Modems & smoke alarm lights in the room were intrusively bright.
3. Kettle placed directly underneath the wall mounted TV, so boiling it caused steam to cover the screen & potentially cause dangerous future electrical issues.
4. Cord of hairdryer not long enough to stretch from the only accessible socket to the mirror in the room.
5. Women need large bath sheets for boobs & bums to be covered and large hand towels for hair wrapping. Alternatively a hooded bathrobe to wrap yourself in after drying yourself down with a smaller towel.

Pros:

From check in to check out, I was amazed at this property. I also could not believe how affordable it was, given it's location. This will be my preferred place to stay moving forward. The rooms, the decor, the smell, the uniqueness, the free parking, the location were all amazing!
