小蝿以外は良かったです！！
Pros:

従業員の方が毎日違うが、全員愛想が良くて良かった！
上のカフェスペースが良かった。

Cons:

従業員の愛想以外はまじで
清掃！がきになる。涙
初日はトイレに髪の毛の塊(流し忘れ)があり
滞在中小蝿に悩まされた。
常に小蝿が2匹、殺しても殺しても入ってくる。
上にカフェスペースがあり、おしゃれでいいのだが、
そこの台所？夜小蝿がとんでもない数わいてた。
これであの金額かぁ。と、いう感想。

Excellent Staff, But Be Aware of the Windowless Rooms
Pros:

The hotel staff were exceptional—10/10. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. They handled my concerns politely, and their excellent service was the highlight of my stay.

Cons:

My room had no window, which came as a complete surprise. It was the first time I had ever stayed in a windowless hotel room. I asked if I could move to a room with a window, but I was told that only a small number of rooms have no windows and that no other rooms were available.
I later realized my reservation confirmation did say "No Window," but I had overlooked it because I never imagined a hotel charging about $125 per night would offer windowless rooms. Although I understand these rooms are legally permitted if they meet ventilation requirements, I personally found the experience very uncomfortable. Natural light and fresh air are important to me, and mechanical ventilation is not the same.
I even looked for nearby hotels that night, but they were fully booked, so I had no choice but to stay. Unfortunately, this made my 4-night stay much less enjoyable. I would not stay in a windowless room again and recommend that future guests carefully check the room type before booking.

Super lokalizacja
Pros:

Hotel w samym centrum, do atrakcji można dojść na piechotę a okolica pełna knajp, sklepów i życia nocnego ale jednocześnie w pokoju cichutko. Poza tym blisko dworca kolejowego czyli dojazd z lotniska bezproblemowy. Pokoje małe ale wystarczające, wszystko jest. Fajny barek na dachu gdzie można zrobić sobie kawę herbatę.

Cons:

Wszystko było ok
