This is honestly one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in -- worse than that ant-infested Holiday Inn in Wyoming. Worse, even, than the dirtiest youth hostel I visited in Mexico. Why? Because it's overpriced and disgustingly pretentious.
The worst part about this joint was the lobby, which reminds me of what might happen if Salvador Dali met Christina Aguilera in 'Moulin Rouge.' And then they had a love child.
I get the idea of a hip boutique hotel. But this is just some crappy 1960s motel that they painted black and white and furnished with shitty IKEA-esque furniture. Really. It reminded me of some "design on a dime" example on HGTV. "For just $40 and a bit of black paint, we transformed this aging motel into a hip destination!!!" Except that they didn't.
The rooms are tiny, the bed was horribly uncomfortable and even the bathroom was...well...odd. They didn't even have a coffee maker! And the huge flat screen TV was too big for the room, so we couldn't even watch it properly.
I'm also convinced the front desk worker was faking some vague European accent, too, but I can't prove it.
