Funky Stay with Attentive Service

comfy roomsattentive staffexcellent bar snacks
The hotel blends into a funky, arty precinct with comfy, large rooms. It also features a fun take on political portraits. The wallpaper in the bar area deserves close inspection. The staff was attentive and friendly across all interactions. Being a Sunday evening, the restaurant was closed, but the bar snacks provided enough choice.
I found the parking cost a bit high.
