We booked this hotel using Hotels.com and the rate was very good so we thought heck why not try it. The hotel is different from chain hotels. From the outside it looks like an office building, we didnt even know we had arrived. Inside, every detail is almost hidden, discrete. I believe the hotel was originally redesigned as condos, because of the market crash, I think it was recently renovated into a hotel. Rooms are sheik yet simple, modern yet cozy. The rooms were clean and efficient use of space. Very good energy. Will stay again. Walking distance to St. Catherine's or Old Town, right across the street from China Town. Great Location.
