Minimalist property that still manages to be relaxing and comfortable with all needed amenities. I loved the stay here and would book a lodge like this in any city I am going to for solo travel. The staff was fantastic as well. Great location

The location is very convenient, the staff is very friendly. I can really recommend the breakfast. I hadn't however realized the high-concept nature of the hotel. The room being a windowless box came as a bit of a surprise. Certainly would stay again if traveling solo or just passing through.

The rooms do the job, when you’re in the room you want to sleep and have a good rest. When you wake up, you want to get the heck out of there asap. So great for a fantastic, restful night!

Just a box

The rooms are literally boxes built inside an old parking garage--so no window. Restaurant and bar on the top floor with views of river and park. But quite, dark and cool for sleeping. a/c and private baths.
