Pros (+) Location is perfect. Rooms are tiny, with no wasted space and good views. Lobby non-existent, but 2nd floor desk/relax space makes up for that.

Cons (-) The elevator service was terrible. We would often wait over 20 minutes to catch the elevator during the day, and the stairs were not practical when you're staying in the 28th floor.

Pros (+) Good location
Cons (-) My king bed was actually a king box spring with two twin mattresses. Who does that? The seam is right in the middle of your back.
