"A beautiful, modern hotel with an excellent room and view. I loved happy hour downstairs but was hoping to spend more time on the rooftop bar, which was closed for part of my stay or didn’t have the happy hour prices. The hotel is right by the subway, which is perfect for those who need it. It’s a quick, clean commute to important sites and downtown. K-town is a cool place with the best food!"
