"The minibar amenities (water, snacks and coffee were included), the two complimentary cocktails for happy hour, the door staff was amazing!, the workout facility had lots of options and the sparkling flavored water station was the bomb, and the craft coffee connected to the lobby."

Ruka Restobar elevates the experience with its Nikkei cuisine, while the lobby buzzes with downtown energy. In my opinion, it's a comfortable, well-located choice.”

warm cider wonderful shower small room tired lounge

the service felt deeply personal, and it was like finding a cozy embrace far from home. warm cider greeted us upon arrival and those little cinnamon donuts, oh they were pure comfort. i must mention the room was lovely, it had a wonderful shower to it too.

our room felt much to small. the lounge area looked rather tired. the online pictures gave a false impression, as they highlight only the nice restaurant.
