Loved by Roger Smith Hotel guests
"This hotel features art and is decorated a little differently from your standard boring business / chain hotels."
"Although they don't advertise a breakfast, there is yogurt, granola and apples available on the mezzanine level."
"They had a gym pass to access a local gym, great fruit and yogurt, and the room was so nice."
