I had a mixed experience at this boutique hotel. While the location was fantastic, close to Chinatown and various markets, the room I received was much smaller than expected and lacked natural light. The service was pleasant but could have been more attentive, and the breakfast options were limited with stale pastries. Overall, it was comfortable but not worth the price considering the drawbacks.
