Loved staying at the life hotel! Stayed here for 1 week. Every day our room was cleaned and we got fresh towels and free water bottles. Rooms are a fun retro style with comfy bed and Life magazine styling throughout the hotel. Perfect central location and the front desk held our luggage after check out so we could explore the city before our flight home. Would stay here again!
