2. Sure, the design of the lobby was modern and cool, but that is where the W closed up shop.

4. I will say that this place has potential, they need to seriously upgrade the quality of the stay rather than just try to make it look cool.

"It's trying really hard to be cool " Read full review on TripAdvisor 1/10/2012 Vote

5. The hotel itself tries very hard to be too cool for school - which is fine as long as you know what to expect.

6. But they have certain advantages--they appeal to younger business travellers who occasionally hang out in the 'designed-to-be-cool' wxyz bar or lobby (as often happens in youth hostels).

8. the plusses - a nice gym, cool bar, snack food and sandwiches available all day, easy road access, delightful staff, good products within the rooms and a price that cannot be beaten for the amenities.

9. The room was nice and clean, but looked like a really cool dorm room - the staff, although generally nice and very helpful, also looked like they jumped right out of the college scene.

10. Very cool concept without being ridiculously overpriced.
