For such a fancy pants new hotel, it was a strange decision to use paper for the walls, and slabs of concrete for the mattresses. For real, if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs (we heard a baby screaming from down the hallway the entire time we were in our room), and if you're a side sleeper be prepared for hip pain. Other than that the room was pretty meh for how much it cost. The only positive was the staff who were all excellent. In other news, I automatically give a one star rating to any hotel with frosted glass or any type of open concept bathroom. I'm not sure when hotels decided friends, or even couples or other family members, want to watch each other shower or go to the bathroom. Because we don't.
